01 - “The Sal Serenity Playlist has it all. It's the perfect mix of Cape Verdean music.”

Music is one of the ingredients when it comes to atmosphere and conviviality. Music takes you to another place. Music can create a huge holiday feeling and that's why we made a playlist where you get all the vibes that belong to a holiday in Ilha do Sal – Santa Maria.

In Cape Verde people like to have a good time. Music has played a major role in this for centuries. With very different music streams, there is something for everyone. So you have modern and less modern music. With well-known artists such as Cesaria Evora, Ildo Lobo and Tito Paris, we have a lot of artists who have left their mark on the culture of Cape Verde. With a lot of music that comes straight from the heart, you will be completely swept up in the feeling of the island life.

In addition to the more traditional music, there is of course also the popular new sound. Nelson Freitas, Calema, Soraia Ramos, Mayra Andrade and many more artists are responsible for beautiful music with millions of streams. The great thing about the music that these artists make is that it is groundbreaking. Not only Cape Verdean people listen to this music, but the whole world now enjoys the music of these artists.

On the island of Ilha do Sal, music is also a thing. Everywhere you go you will witness music playing in the background. There are also plenty of places where you can dance in the evenings. Also very popular is live music. In almost every restaurant you can enjoy a beautiful Cape Verdean voice during your dinner, which is accompanied by a piano or guitar.

So do you want to get in the mood? Or do you want the perfect atmosphere during your stay in Santa Maria? Log in to your Spotify account and listen to the playlist of Sal Serenity Suites.
