It's not a dialect...because it's developed into a language. Since CV creole is basedon Archaic Portuguese and African languages. It is not a dialect. The difference of each island would be considered CV Creole dialects.
@punkonthis No, the (beautiful) language is criollo from Cape Verde. There are some clear interferences from Portuguese, but this is a very differente language. I´m Brazilian and cannot understand everything she sings. Have you ever listened to Cesária Évora and Mayra Andrade? Great singers from Cape Verde.
This song is really amazing! Love the rhythm and everything, but I got one problem: I don't understand a word of it.... Is anyone able to translate the lyrics into english or german or... anything? Would be great! :/
I saw her at the Berkley Performance Center (boston)for the first time 2 weeks ago and cannot stop thinking about her!! She is absolutely mesmerizing. Her music, her dancing, her energy, SPECTACULAR!! First time I've seen the audience up and dancing in a classic music venue too!! Thank you LURA!!
Ponciana is the name of a woman. The song is about a woman who is expecting a child out of wedlock but her parents have promised her hand in marriage to another man.
In Maio island, Cape Verde (Where the writer of this song and myself are from),we use the word Ponciana to refer to a person who's name we don't want to mention, especially when you're having a conversation in public. So "Ponciana" is just a term for a girl whose name one doesn't want to mention.
Lura is an excellent singer ! I heard her a couple of years ago in Amsterdam in a concert. It was quite an experience. I have never before been in a classical music concert hall where people start to dance in the concert ....´but this happened in Lura`s concert. Great ! It would be a great experience to visit Kap Verde and hear more music like this. Has she ever been in Scandinavia on tour ? Thanks !
Wonderful! I love Lura. And this video makes me want to visit Cape Verde.. I am from and lived on mainland Africa but never been out to any of the islands (except if you count Zanzibar..)off the coasts of the continent
Absolutely beautiful. This song just sounds so pretty, I have 2 of Lura's CDs & I must say I have not been disappointed in my purchases. I can't wait for her to come to the States I will definitely go & check her out in concert.

I really love this song. It it portuguese? Translation? Ponciana, Ponciana, Poniana -Ka bu fla
Mo sta grávida di Chanate caboquer
Ponciana rapariga parcidinha
a mi-m criá-bu ku águ di nha boca
Avontadi bem trajade ku tudo mimo
Pa bem kasabu ku emigranti di Holanda
Nha cumpadri onti staba li na casa
Trazê recedu K'Antonim si fidje manda d'Holanda
Ma na mês di Agosto al sa ta bem di féria
Si Déus kiser al sa ta bem casa ku bó

@punkonthis don't tell me
You're pregnant from "chanate caboquer"
ponciana cute girl
i raised you with the water of my mouth
confortably well dressed with all affection
so that you'd be married with an immigrant from Holland
yesterday my buddy was here at home
brought you a note from antonim his son in Holland
telling you that in august he'd be coming on vacation
god willing he is going to marry you
