Cabo love

Cabo love is an popular music genre from the Cape Verde islands. In the late 80's, many Cape Verdeans started creating electric pop music, Also in the 70's, when the Cape Verdean diaspora living in Europe and North america have influenced the traditional "coladeira" with "zouk" and "salsa music" and some "funana" rhythms together; this fusion was called in the late 70's as the modernized "coladance" or by some called as "funa cola or Cola-zouk. However, in the late 80's when the new generation off young talented musicians from Cape Verde were born, they have created a new slow mixed version of modernized pop music with Cape Verdean traditional music styles. These two fusions were put together and became commercialized. In this period of time, a new age of Cape Verdean music was born called Cabo love or Cabo zouk it's very similar to zouk love or kizomba. This new genre gained a lot of popularity from Portuguese speaking countries, from Africa to Brazil and to the rest of the world. Most of the songs are written in Portuguese and Portuguese creole.
