seeing post tends to get some parts done. so there are many elderly people living in the houses here and there isn't enough water and the pipe supply isn't reliable . so we have to load the water onto the donkeys and we also bring them their groceries from me. so for the, for this company to 0 will earn about 2 euros from elton for the strenuous time she's expected on the mountain top. who doesn't have to take the water to the house up there. so i always do it when i come home from school, he seems to get some money for it. for a lot he was just c h to the it's a difficult journey with a stubborn donkey. put the place itself is special. the

the new gotta beneath is this. it's beautiful here which causes the houses and the green after the rain. super to create the same gum, which if you listen, no, you can only see it from up here. little. yeah, cause this can lead to bush one look, was area to news, made it the barrios whose lives here with his family. it's 5 kilometers by foot to the newest village guy because the, the, the, the expert who,

a very special challenge lies ahead for the 1st time she's a carnival queen in carnival. the queen's dress plays a central role. it has to be unusual, respect to traditions and have a seat on which the main carnival is fun. but it's also culture and tradition. i'm interested in social equality. having a balance between the winners and losers. best this dressers catalina's design. it requires a lot of fabric. and much like the responsibility of being queen h wait my dress has a metal base. the costume represents the balance between rich and poor. colossal

this. but it also has to be a big, sexy yes, of course. there's this part. open with pearls. the more beautiful the dress, the better. or has a dentist contract. tina earns good money. the dress will cost around $300.00 euros . being a queen requires a lot of investment um, dina has a sewing studio in one of the port or districts of the city. it's also cloudy as neighborhood farm from the beach closer to the mountains. for weeks before carnival, it's all systems go here. dina, interest seamstresses have their hands for making costumes for carnival. teen is

stressed. most carnival costumes are fairly standard, so they don't cost much of queen stress is a big exception. and so the stress is a job for the boss that dina and this is how it should look the yeah know, put into this and that gives you the chance of can it be done in time for carnival? yes, yes. that's some hard or easy. the hard does it look queen lee? this is too much. do you see? see yes. yes. the um

the the circumference of the extravagant dress is recorded on the floor. dina isn't thrilled. she's under a lot of time pressure. every one is relaxed except her. steve. it's always the same because everything comes at the last moment just before a carnival, and i only have 4 weeks. the 3 weeks later, there's not much to show yet. first they try out a model an employee who serves as a substitute queen the

we will there be enough time before carnival more or less the time is running out for new though to use red suit and matching red hat still have to be made for carnival the band leaders outfit is obvious, able to is on the present in new knows workshop. there is no money for drums or costumes. they create everything themselves, including the music. if they go full. so he lived there, they're going to,

i've come up with my very own prism for the carnival dell especially. i may do both . it's a kind of mixture of sky reiki and galloping horses as we move up to you to keep me back and go back. choose the piece removed, jump out of here and like i saw the movie bashing visits. see right now you see the right next to this is anya ever. a cemetery is guitar maker on this settles workshop. more not the music of cape bird also serves as the collective memory of

the cape verde ends its central theme. so daddy expresses the melancholy and yearning for a home so by those who had to leave their country due to poverty. before the 1st performance of her new morning songs cloudy a wants to give her old guitar. an overhaul on the set of the guitar maker is not very impressed with her plastic backed instrument you need to re okay, the guitar it's. ringback we have the best ones here. i'll show you on the most message and desire defense, classic this winter when he talks to somebody else, may i try one, a cloudy, i can't afford, i'm a settled guitars,

but there's no harm dreaming activity back and forth. i think the guitar she has is no longer adequate for so do you agree? and thank you one for my kind of music. one of your guitars would be great. the for a brief time, she gets to hold a really good instrument. it costs around $600.00 curos far too expensive for cloudy and she'll be sticking with the old guitar for now. the

new places somewhat harder, faster with them about to cut us are the drums sections of the carnival parades. they were key part of kate, 30 and musical culture mean dello, the 2nd largest city and cape bird, is the cultural center of the archipelago. the new nose drummers are rehearsing on the soccer field as they do every evening before carnival john sons and the lineup. some $150.00 drummers will come together for the event. the neighbors can forget about sleep during these weeks, but most of them are taking part anyway. i the rest of the sessions for dancers every evening and there is rehearsal. the noodle is you for it.

we were the 1st group to start rehearsing at this point, i'd say, we'll be ready for the what looks like and i do like the beach was one so place apart for some 3 centuries . the speech was the side of one of the world's largest slave markets. the under portuguese colonial rule, thousands of africans were chained to this pillar before being sold onto the americas and the caribbean. 2 days, the dungy valia,

the former capital is a world heritage site. after centuries of portuguese colonial rule, cape bird finally became independent in 1975. the the country's modern day capital is about 15 kilometers away. it's called prya, which means beach, like the old capital. it's located on the cape birds, largest style, and the son to jago,

the 70 percent of cape birds population. the creole descendants of both in slave africans and the portuguese colonizers. the cape bird, creole language developed from the communication between slaves, engines slavers, both portuguese and creole. still spoken in cape for today. around 20 kilometers from the capital lives the tranquil town. oh so domain goes keywords where pasquals lives. he's the last cape verde and who can still build and play the traditional instrument of the in slaved. the symbol it's base is a hollow down gord swimming pool, a symbol. what a wants to maximize this in boy is the oldest string instruments in k, but it goes back centuries and has need the european north american origins. it has

1st specific decatur, the music shondra colt about to go there are still goats in the mountains today, just like back then school needs their skin for the sound box. the animals can to be too young or too old. the is also working to keep the keep dirty and musical tradition alive. her next performance date is approaching. she's excited, but it's difficult to practice when her mother wants to see her studying law. cloudy is thoughts straight from her studies to our new compositions and the performance music is a refuge. her father left when she was very young. i mean the,

i can't allow us to lose our roots interest. that's why i sing more than a lot of, you know, it's difficult to make a living for music. things are extremely expensive. a square the socialism is got us take the price of a loaf of bread recently and shut up from $150.00 to $250.00. your school does the equivalent of around 2 euros. 50 o loaf of bread is often too expensive to buy. hello. do you have some cookies or conflicts? yes, sure. or anything else? t cookies. thank you. sonya and make sure to leave some catch upa for her mother to eat when she gets home late in the evening from her job as an accountant

cody is mother doesn't earn much and most of it goes towards her own. the daughter's tuition fees about a 130 years each month. it's a constant battle with my mother. she keeps telling me musics, no good, my child. and i tell her, yes, it is. usually because a part of me. and then she'll say cloud, you go and study cape virgin use, it won't pay your way. it'll do, you know, good of the blue scarfs there. done. have you forgotten anything? it's already 9 15 pm on the evening of the 1st performance with the new saw it's about to begin
