Voz de Cabo Verde, which translates to "Voice of Cape Verde," is a seminal band known for their influential role in the popularization of Cape Verdean music. The group was formed in the mid-20th century, becoming a prominent force in the music scene with their blend of traditional Cape Verdean rhythms, such as morna, coladeira, and funaná, with international influences. Voz de Cabo Verde served as a significant cultural ambassador for the Cape Verdean archipelago and was instrumental in celebrating and spreading the sounds of the islands around the world.

Throughout its career, Voz de Cabo Verde collaborated with various artists, including the iconic singer Bana, who was affectionately known as the "King of Morna." They established a rich musical legacy with a discography that includes celebrated tracks like "Saragarça" and "Encontrarei o Amor," among others. The band's album "Cabo Verde 74 (Sodad Serie 4 - Vol. 7)" harkens back to a pivotal era in the country's history, just before its independence, and their music often reflects themes of nostalgia, love, and freedom, as epitomized in songs like "Viva a Liberdade" and "Independencia." Voz de Cabo Verde's passionate performances and emotive melodies have made them a cherished part of Cape Verdean music history and beyond.
