Bio / Background
In the middle of Atlantic Ocean, surrounded by four continents lies Cape Verde. It is a formation of 10 beautiful islands. Brava the tiny island of flowers was to be the birth place of Armando De Pina.
Immigration to America came early. The first voyage to the United States of America occurred in 1957 on the ship Ernestina, now anchored at New Bedford harbor in Massachusetts.
After a brief return to Cape Verde, the same year, Armando De Pina embarked on the ship, "Vera Cruz" to Lisbon, from there he would proceed to the United States on TWA to finally settle. He wouldn't return to Cape Verde for another 9 years.
In Cape Verde and in the United States, music always accompanied him. Frequent requests for his singing talent were common for cultural activities and special gatherings in the Cape Verdean community.
In the year of 1959, he wrote the music to "Sara" inspired by the love of Sara and Nana. It became one of Armando's most requested songs.
