Morna is a traditional music genre from the Cape Verde Islands off the coast of West Africa. It is a type of Creole music that combines African rhythms with Portuguese melodies. It is usually performed with a combination of acoustic instruments such as the cavaquinho (a small four-stringed guitar), the viola (a stringed instrument similar to a guitar), and the accordion. The lyrics of Morna songs often tell stories of love, loss, and longing, and the music is often slow and melancholic.
