 * = Most people only know Cape Verde through the mournful songs of Cesária Évora. To visit her homeland a series of unlikely volcanic islands some 500km off the coast of senegal – is to understand the strange amalgam of West African rhythms and mournful Portuguese melodies that shape her music.It’s not just open ocean that separates Cape Verde from the rest of West Africa. Cool currents, for example, keep temperatures moderate, and a stable political and bla economic system help support West Africa’s highest standard of living. The population, who represent varying degrees of African and Portuguese heritage, will seem exuberantly warm if you fly in straight from, say, Britain, but refreshingly low-key if you arrive from Lagos or dakar ||= When locals say "Western Addition" they mean roughly the area between Van Ness, Fulton, Divisadero, and Geary. As always these boundaries are not precise, and are less precise with Western Addition than other neighborhoods. The reason for this is that many of the neighborhoods that were once part of Western Addition are now their own, independent neighborhoods, e.g., Hayes Valley, Japan town, NoPa, etc ||
 * = In 1951, Cape Verde's status changed from a Portuguese colony to an overseas province, and in 1961 the inhabitants became full Portuguese citizens. An independence movement led by the African Party for the Independence of Guinea-Bissau (another former Portuguese colony) and Cape Verde (PAIGC) was founded in 1956. Following the 1974 coup in Portugal, after which Portugal began abandoning its colonial empire, the islands became independent (July 5, 1975). ||= The original town that became San Francisco huddled on the edge of Yerba Buena Cove, named for wild mint (good herb) growing nearby, where the first European resident pitched his tent in 1835. The first mayor changed the town's name in 1848 and San Francisco was born, its 469 residents including Ohlone Indians, Americans, Spanish Californians, Hawaiians, Europeans, South Americans and New Zealanders.  ||
 * = the origin of the Baia das Gatas music Festival held annually on Sao Vicente can be traced to a showing of the movie "Woodstock" in Mindelo in July of 1984. Vasco Martins, a well-known CapeVerdian musician and composer, and some of his friends saw the movie and shortly thereafter came up with the idea of putting on a major music festival in Cape Verde. Less then one month later the first festival took place. The festival now attracts upwards of 15,000 people and features musicians from Cape Verde and abroad. ||= Did you know that San Francisco is one of the richest cities in the world ? It ranks fourth in the world, after New York, Moscow and London, in terms of the numbers of billionaires that call it home. This is despite the fact that it has less than 10% of the population of the other three cities. San Francisco is also known for having the largest Chinese community in the world , outside of China. ||
