Chronicles the work of Norberto Tavares, a Cabo Verdean musician
and humanitarian who served as the conscience of his island nation
during the transition from Portuguese colony to democratic
republic. Based on twenty years of collaborative fieldwork, Songs
for Cabo Verde: Norberto Tavares's Musical Visions for a New
Republic focuses on the musician Norberto Tavares but also tells a
larger story about postcolonial nation building, musical activism,
and diaspora life within the Lusophone sphere. It follows the
parallel trajectories of Cabo Verdean independence and Tavares's
musical career over four decades (1975-2010). Tavares lived and
worked in Cabo Verde, Portugal, and the United States, where he
died in New Bedford, Massachusetts at age fifty-four. Tavares's
music serves as a lens through which we can view Cabo Verde's
transition from a Portuguese colony to an independent, democratic
nation, one that was shaped in part through the musician's
persistent humanitarian messages.
