One Love Reggae Bar (Sal)

Perched on top of a downtown Santa Maria building, this rooftop reggae bar is one of the most laid-back places on the island, praised for its chilled vibes and its excellent choice of music, which inevitably leads to patrons dancing well into the night.

Bars & Nightlife

Nightlife in Cape Verde moves to the sounds of 'morna', a beautiful form of folk music that fully captures the country's rich history and mix of cultural influences. In taverns around the islands, people gather after dark to hear the mournful sounds of singers accompanied by guitars, violins, and pianos. More joyful melodies come from the islands' other genres of 'funaná', 'batuque', and 'coladeira', all of which liven up a nightlife scene that lives and breathes music and tradition.
