Cabo Verde, also known as Cape Verde, is an archipelago nation located in the central Atlantic Ocean, approximately 570 kilometers off the coast of West Africa. Comprising ten volcanic islands and several islets, the country is known for its stunning landscapes, including rugged mountains, pristine beaches, and vibrant coral reefs. With a rich cultural heritage influenced by African, Portuguese, and Brazilian traditions, Cabo Verde is celebrated for its music, particularly the soulful sounds of morna and funaná. The capital city, Praia, on the island of Santiago, serves as the political and economic hub. Despite its small size and limited natural resources, Cabo Verde has made significant strides in economic development, tourism, and renewable energy, earning a reputation as one of Africa's most stable and democratic nations.
