Dino d'Santiago

About Dino d'Santiago

Dino d'Santiago is the boldest of the new Cape Verdean fusionists, folding funaná, morna, and kizomba into electronic and urban pop. Raised in Quarteira, Portugal, by a Cape Verdean family, he sings in Kriolu about identity, migration, and the future of the islands' music. Albums like Mundu Nôbu and Kriolu made him a critical favorite and a bridge between Lisbon's club scene and Cape Verdean tradition.
