Hi,Jura, Kriolu, here, is a mix between African dialects and Portuguese. This kind of kriolu is spoken in Cape Green, for example. There are many beautiful Cesaria Evora's songs in kriolu, you can listen to and enjoy in youtube. My late father in law and his family used to speak kriolu and Portuguese, so learned a little bit of kriolu myself. http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Cesaria+Evora
