In Tabanka, every character plays an essential role in preserving this ancestral tradition. The King and Queen represent the authority and unity of the community; the Bride symbolizes the renewal of life; the Soldiers maintain order and safeguard the ceremonial procession. Meanwhile, musicians, singers, and devoted participants give voice, rhythm, and soul to a celebration that keeps Cape Verdean cultural heritage alive.

𝗧𝗔𝗕𝗔𝗡𝗞𝗔 - JERASON NOBU

Na mo di kriansa, tabanka ta dexa di ser memoria i ta transforma na futuru. Inxina mas nobu planta raís ki tenpu ka konsigi rinka. Na kada kantiga, kada toki di tanboru, kada son di buziu i kada pasu inxinadu ta manti bibu identidadi di un povu. Asi nu ta garanti ki eransa kontinua ta ekua di jerason pa jerason.

𝗧𝗔𝗕𝗔𝗡𝗞𝗔 - NEW GENERATION

In the hands of a child, Tabanka becomes more than a memory, it becomes the future. Teaching the younger generation is planting roots that time can never uproot. Every song, every drumbeat, every sound of the conch shell, and every step they learn keeps the spirit of a people alive, ensuring this precious heritage continues to echo from generation to generation.

𝗩𝗜𝗩𝗔 𝗜𝗡𝗗𝗜𝗣𝗘𝗡𝗦𝗜𝗔!!! - 50 ANU DI INPENDENSIA DI CABO VERDE

5 di juliu di 2025 Cabo Verde sta silebra 50 anu di indipendensia.

Oxi nu ta silebra un marka stóriku rejistadu pa pilar di stória di 5 di juliu. E ka so fala di 50, mas tanbi di 500 anu.
Pabia Cabo Verde ka kumesa na 1975 i sinku sékulu di identidadi koletiva ka podi paga na torna skrebi un idiolojia di stória.

Nos alma kumesa kuandu nos ilia torna pontu di inkontru, di pasaji i di kruzamentu di povu i di kultura.
Nos e fetu di Áfrika, di Europa i di Amerika, ki konstrui entri mar, seka i partida. Nos storia e di reziliensa di kenha ki prendi vivi ku poku, mas ki ta sunha tamanhu.

Nos storia e di orguliu i di risponsabilidadi, orguliu pa tudu ki nu konkista, komu povu, komu nason, duranti dimokrasia.
Risponsabilidadi pamodi storia ka ta erdadu, ta konstruídu. Un storia entri partida i sodadi, ta konstrui un identidadi a skrebi na kriolu, ki ta badja na morna, ki ta labanta na Batuku i atxa kunpanheru na odju di kenha ki bai i kenha ki fika. Un povu musturadu na korpu i n'alma undi kada ilha ten si propi vos, mas nu ta parti un so lingua di afetu: Lingua Kabuverdianu.

Na 1975, kantu nu konkista indipendensia, nu ka kumesa di zeru. Indipendensia foi rikunhesimentu pulítiku di kenha ki nos dja nu era: Un povu ku identidadi, kultura i ku txeu vontadi di anda i susti ku nos pé.

Tabanka e eku di povu ki ta transforma mimoria na ritimu i rezistensia na silebrason, Entri tanbor, vos i pasu marxadu, ta nasi un forma koletivu ki ta trabesa jerason. El e eransa bibu, fetu di fé, identidadi i pertensa, undi rua ta bira palku i tradison ta rispira prizenti. Na Tabanka, kada son ta karega storia, kada jestu ta guarda rais i kada inkontru ta rinova aima di komunidadi.

Tabanka is the echo of a people who turn memory into rhythm and resistance into celebration. Between drums, voices, and measured steps, a collective force is born and carried across generations. It is a living heritage, woven with faith, identity, and belonging, where the street becomes a stage and tradition breathes in the present. In Tabanka, every sound carries history, every gesture holds roots, and every gathering renews the soul of the community.

Brava e silensiu floridu na jardin di mar.
Ilia di neblina suavi, rotxa i sodadi bunitu, undi tenpu ta kaminha dibagar.
Ses gentis ta karega ternura i koraji na petu, umildadi i morabeza.
Na ora di badu ti biradu, Brava ta kontinua ta floresi na mimoria, sima un poizia bibu ki nunka dexa di txoma pa si kre-txeu.

Brava is a blossoming silence in the middle of the Atlantic.
An island of gentle mist, mountains, and beautiful longing, where time seems to move softly. Its people carry tenderness and courage within the same heart, humble, resilient, and welcoming. Between departures and reunions, Brava continues to bloom in memory, like a living poem that never stops calling its own.
