  • In the heart of Praia, where the Atlantic breeze carries rhythms through the streets, KriolSound Productions was born.
    Founded by three musicians who grew up playing in church bands and beach bars, the company began in a small, echo-filled garage.
    Their dream: to give Cabo Verdean artists a real platform—at home and beyond.
    They started recording local singers who had raw talent but no access to studios.
    Their first success came when a young Funaná singer they produced went viral on YouTube.
    Soon, international DJs and labels started calling, curious about the fresh island sound.
    KriolSound invested in a professional studio, blending traditional instruments with modern beats.
    They began organizing showcases across the islands, giving unknown artists their first big stage.
    Radio stations played their music. Young people started dreaming of being part of their roster.
    Their artists toured in Portugal, Angola, and Brazil—sharing Cabo Verde’s sound with the world.
    KriolSound also launched workshops, teaching music production and performance to youth.
    What started as a passion project became a cultural movement.
    They didn’t just make songs—they preserved heritage, amplified identity, and sparked careers.
    Today, KriolSound is a symbol of pride and creativity across the archipelago.
    🎶 From the garage to the globe, their beat never stopped.
