TULIPA NEGRA was a Lisbon based Cape Verdian band in the 80's, playing Funaná music with a flavour of Merengue and reggae two Bob Marley covers are included in this album Funaná from Cape Verde:
The nine islands that make up Cape Verde are strung strategically between the north and south Atlantic and between the three continents of Europe, Africa and South America. Uninhabited when first discovered around 1460, Cape Verde was used by the Portuguese for re-supplying ships that serviced their far-flung empire and as a way station in the slave trade. Historically, the audience for Cape Verdean music has stayed within the islands and their overseas enclaves where two out of three Cape Verdeans live. But this is changing. Fifty-four-year-old singer Césaria Évora's popularity in France has put Cape Verdean culture in the spotlight and taken its music to the world stage.
Funaná hails from the island of Santiago, which was the center of the Cape Verdean slave trade. Under the colonial regime, funaná was only heard in the countryside and disparaged as "folklore" by the urban middle clss. Thc funaná was especially unpopular with the Portuguese colonial powers for its obliquely political lyrics. In the 1980s, plugged-in funaná became one of the most popular Cape Verdean styles and bands like Bulimundo adapted the music for pop audiences and Finacon who combined funaná and coladeira into a fusion called funacola.
You might think that the merengue-flavored "Tulipa Negra," by the Lisbon-based Cape Verdean band of the same name, also came to Cape Verde from the Caribbean. But its pathway is more complicated than that. It came to the islands from Angola, where the merengue seems to have taken hold more strongly than anywhere else in Africa. Tulipa Negra's style comes partly from Angolan guitar bands of the early '70s, when merengue influences were very strong
