The women of the "Finka Pé" group, bearers of a 17th Century Cape Verdean expression, intend to transmit the importance of the batuque, traditionally performed at wedding and baptism festivities. They are aware of their cultural identity, an identity that is not built on negativity, against or in favour of a European reference, but through positivity, for what it is. The batuque is an integration of the body and feelings: dancing and singing they express their fears, concerns and worries; they give advice and hope; they reflect on the role of women. Everyday life is integrated into their art, which is the art of the body as the absolute experience of their emotions, their thoughts, sensations and problems.
