This compilation represents the second chapter of the Krioulu diaspora story. In Luxembourg, in 1986, a group of Cape Verdian teenagers formed a brilliant band named after the blunt instrument used in the islands to pound corn for the country's national dish, cachupa. Grupo Pilon combined searing estilo Krioulu drumming and the hybrid ColaZouk style with blissful synth work and rugged guitar licks, creating a stripped-down, addictive sound that masterfully straddled two worlds.
