#Funaná is music that uses the #accordion + hand #percussion (🪇 #MaracasEmoji 2023!) in Cape Verde 🇨🇻

It definitely shows musical ties across the #AfricanDiaspora

But interestingly, the accordion didn’t come to similar musics like #Louisiana #zydeco, #Brazil’s #forró, #cumbia in #Colombia, or other African influenced cultures until the 1860s or so

So the traditions developed in isolation from each other in many ways
