The 2017 edition of the Cape-Verdian carnival started Sunday 26th of February and closed yesterday, with the parade of the groups.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Cesaria Evora - Carnaval de Sao Vicente\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JmDLZORG6Cg?feature=oembed&#038;autoplay=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>If the island of the Cape-Verdean singer is <em>&#8220;a little Brazil&#8221;<\/em>, the carnival that is held in Mindelo every year is not a little one, hence the name given by its participants : &#8220;little Rio&#8221;. The inhabitants of the island organize huge parades inspired by Rio&#8217;s <em>marchinhas<\/em>, that already were coming from the Portuguese popular marches of the end of the 19th century. This is when the suburbs of Mindelo went nuts for these celebrations, and invented an almost unique event in Africa, and the the continent&#8217;s most renowned and visited.<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #f2994a;\"><br \/>\nMandingas and queers : everyone is invited<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>These <em>&#8220;three wild days&#8221;<\/em> are open to everyone, as the song suggests, and this may very well be the core feature of Mindelo&#8217;s carnival, through a very unique and specific tradition : the <i>mandingas<\/i>. Since the 1940s, the inhabitants of Mindelo&#8217;s poor suburbs have gotten into the habit of painting their bodies and faces black and parading bare-chested, wearing only a feather-made pagne, necklaces and bracelets. This outfit is meant to imitate, or even caricature the Mandinka people, a large West African ethnic group.<\/p>\n<p>They roam the streets, armed with lances and threaten the inhabitants &#8211; especially the younger ones &#8211; with their frightening expression, their eyes outlined by white paint lines. Sometimes it&#8217;s a way to collect money. By personifying the Mandinka people &#8211; a community who gained their autonomy against the big empires as early as the 13th century and who has always been fighting colonialist corruption and chaos &#8211; the <i>mandingas<\/i> of Mindelo reenacted the rebellion against the Portuguese colonist until 1975.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4952\" src=\"https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Oi-dMandinga.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Oi-dMandinga.jpg 800w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Oi-dMandinga-759x506.jpg 759w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Oi-dMandinga-661x440.jpg 661w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Oi-dMandinga-465x310.jpg 465w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Oi-dMandinga-375x250.jpg 375w\" sizes=\"(min-width:1010px) 759px,100vw\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Today, this parade would embody the criticism of the socio-economic problems most of the island&#8217;s population has to deal with everyday. Indeed, according to a few academic investigations &#8211; there is no consensus about it yet, and very little work to be found &#8211; this habit of taking the Sub-Saharan African aesthetics to the extreme and showing a belonging to this conquering and autonomous ethnic group, would be a way for the inhabitants of Mindelo&#8217;s poor neighbourhoods to get back at the social stigmatization they are often the target. The carnival permissiveness allows them to manipulate cultural features that often have a pejorative overtone in a society that likes to consider itself the result of centuries of interbreeding between White Portuguese and Black West African populations.<\/p>\n<p>The other specificity of S\u00e3o Vicente&#8217;s Carnival is the presence of the queer community &#8211; designated by the term &#8220;tchindas&#8221; in creole language. This peaceful integration of the queer and transsexual people is a unique feature in Africa, according to the directors of the recent documentary film entitled <i>Tchindas<\/i> (Cape Verde, 2015). The 94-minute movie tells the daily life of Tchinda, the most renowned queer figure of the island during the preparation of the carnival.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_4984\" style=\"width: 1039px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4984\" class=\"wp-image-4984\" src=\"https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/tchindas-07-595x392.jpg\" width=\"1029\" height=\"678\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/tchindas-07-595x392.jpg 595w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/tchindas-07-595x392-300x198.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(min-width:1010px) 759px,100vw\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-4984\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Credit: still from the movie <em>Tchindas<\/em>&nbsp;about the queer and trans community during the Carnival of Mindelo (Cape Verde, 2015)<\/p><\/div>\n<h6><span style=\"color: #f2994a;\"><br \/>\nA multiethnic and mixed musical casting<\/span><\/h6>\n<p>Composed in 1999 for Ces\u00e1ria \u00c9vora by the Cape-Verdean musician Pedro Rodrigues &#8211; also author of the beautiful &#8220;Nha Cancera Ka Tem Medida&#8221; sung by the late diva &#8211; this ode to the Carnival of S\u00e3o Vicente that takes place every year in Cape Verde is a samba, as a tribute to the music that is played during the Rio de Janeiro&#8217;s festivities. The song was performed by excellent musicians from Brazil (a <i>choro<\/i> ensemble), Cuba (on the horn section) and Cape Verde. The band featured the master of arrangement and orchestration Jaques Morelenbaum (Rio de Janeiro), double-bass player Andr\u00e9s Escalona Gra\u00f1a (La Havane), bandmate of the late Ibrahim Ferrer, and Silviano Michelo (S\u00e3o Paulo) on the essential <i>pandeiro<\/i> &#8211; this small tambourine that give the tempo of the samba. This multiethnic cast of musicians says a lot about the nodal role of Cape Verde in the history of afro music, as a hybrid and syncretic crossing point between Africa, Europe, the Carribean and Brazil.<\/p>\n<p>This is why this samba is not a mere imitation of the overseas genre, but a true Cape Verdean take on this music, with characteristics that easily recall the sound Ces\u00e1ria \u00c9vora helped popularized, such as the use of minor chords that highlight the joyful melancholy of the carnival.<\/p>\n<p>The album <i>Caf\u00e9 Atlantico<\/i> that features &#8220;Carnaval de S\u00e3o Vicente&#8221; has sold over 700 000 copies around the world since its release in 1999, was nominated for the Grammy Awards (USA), and Ces\u00e1ria \u00c9vora was rewarded a Victoire de la Musique (France) the same year. The singer and her band immediately embarked on their first great Latin American tour (Cuba, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Chile), a land renowned for its carnivals. And like in S\u00e3o Vicente, these popular events are inspired by the African, christian and indigenous populations&#8217; cultures, with the following strong idea at the core: the inclusion of all the communities in a colourful celebration, perfectly embodied by the typical conviviality of the Cape Verdean society. Its population even has a term to name this spirit in creole: the <i>morabeza<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>&#8220;We have a little party so peaceful<\/em><br \/>\n<em> Do not
