The Cape Verdean masterpiece returns—remastered, restored, and ready to set dancefloors alight once again.
This Record Store Day, vinyl lovers and world music fans can finally get their hands on Caminho De Esperança Coladance 80 by Cabo Verde Show. First released in 1980 and long out of print, original copies have become collector’s treasures, fetching hundreds of dollars.
Now, for the first time ever reissued on vinyl, this radiant fusion of Latin and African rhythms explodes onto limited-edition Sunset Orange Splatter vinyl. Formed in Paris in the late 1970s, Cabo Verde Show blended traditional Cape Verdean roots with global dancefloor energy. On Caminho De Esperança, the band reached their creative peak, delivering timeless tracks like “Coladance 80,” “Nova Coladeira,” and “Terra Longe” — each glowing with life, love, and exile’s bittersweet beauty. A hidden gem reborn, Caminho De Esperança remains one of the most exhilarating Latin-African dance albums of its era — a timeless celebration of rhythm, hope, and Cape Verdean soul.
