In the 1930s, Morna evolved in a swifter form of music called coladeira. Solo vocalists are accompanied by a guitar, violin, bass guitar) and a piano.

Morna also spread to São Vicente, and composers like B. Eugénio Tavares was an influential songwriter of the period, and his songs are still extensively performed. Morna is believed to have originated on Boa Vista as a cheerful song-type. Lyrics are usually in Creole, and reflect highly-variable themes, including love and lust, patriotism and mourning. Morna is a national song-style, like Argentinian tango, beloved by Cape Verdeans across the many islands of the country. Morna is by far the most popular genre of Cape Verdean music, and it has produced an international superstar in Cesária Évora. From 2001-2011, Cape Verdeans and Capeverdeans abroad were awarded the KORA Awards, and only two singers were ever awarded including Cesária Évora and Suzanna Lubrano. At the continental level, singers or artists from Cape Verde and Capeverdeans abroad are included on another award, the MTV Africa Music Awards at the continental level awarded each year by the music network MTV.

In 2011, it would be one of the most recent countries to have its own music award, the Cabo Verde Music Awards was established and awards the greatest songs of the year by Cape Vedean artists (and those of abroad). As a result, there are now more Cape Verdeans abroad than at home, and sizable communities exist in New England, Portugal, Wales, Senegal, Italy, France and the Netherlands. Climate conditions made the islands inhospitable, and the Portuguese governments mostly ignored the inhabitants and the frequent droughts and famines that wracked the islands periodically. The sailors brought with them African slaves, and the islands' population became mixed with elements of both races. Songs composed in Portuguese do exist (for instance, “Mar eterno” from Eugénio Tavares, “Ponta do Sol” from António Caldeira Marques, “Separação” from Palmeirinho) but are extremely scarce.Ĭape Verde is an island archipelago that was uninhabited until the Portuguese arrived in 1462.
