Music
Cape Verde is known internationally for Morna, a form of folk music usually sung in the Cape Verdean Creole, accompanied by clarinet, violin, guitar and cavaquinho. The islands also feature native genres such as funaná, batuque, coladeira, and mazurka.
Cesária Évora is perhaps the best internationally known practitioner of morna. She has achieved worldwide fame, counting in her fans many famous people, such as Madonna[7] and Julio Iglesias.[8]
Games
Several games are played regularly in common meeting places such as squares. These are a strong form of social interaction, and sometimes originate informal tournaments that draw the public's attention. Among these games are several card games such as bisca and txintxon, and other games like uril.
