CAPE VERDE: FERRO GAITA

The band’s name comes the combination of two instruments: the iron (metal piece played with a knife) and ” gaita” (a type of accordion), used in traditional Cape Verdean music. These are the basic instruments of the musical genre most touched by the group: funaná, which had its genesis with the arrival of the accordion to Cape Verde.
