Description
Anyone visiting Lisbon's Cova da Moura neighborhood for the first time sees the remarkably well-preserved culture of Cape Verdeans. Ikenna Azuike discovers that music is the key to the true story of this community and stumbles upon the dark sides of Cape Verdean existence in Portugal.
Neighborhoods built with blood, sweat and tears by the community appear to be systematically demolished. Yet the Cape Verdean Portuguese remain a strong and resilient community that passes on its cultural richness to generations to come.
Things that Ikenna is precisely missing. Building and especially preserving a community, how do you do it? The optimist in Ikenna receives an important lesson to learn.
