Summary:

This film is a spirited look at the unpretentious forms of Badius music and dance from times before electricity arrived that still survive on the archipelago of the Republic of Cabo Verde. The Badius are descendants of runaway African slaves and Portuguese colonists, and their music reflects this mix of heritages. One of the genres featured is batuku, a women's dance, which comments on local events and people.
