Cape Verde is a (in Portuguese, or mestiça society in English), meaning that the population consists of people with mixed African and European ancestry. The island was uninhabited prior to the arrival of the Portuguese. Ethnic groups The Cape Verde archipelago was uninhabited when the Portuguese landed there in 1456. Slaves and Arabs from adjacent West Africa were brought to the islands to work on Portuguese plantations. As a result, many Cape Verdeans, are of ''mixed ethnicity'' (''mestiços'' in Portuguese).

Cape Verdean Americans
Cape Verdean Americans are an ethnic group of Americans whose ancestors were Cape Verdean. In 2010, the American Community Survey stated that there were 95,003 Americans living in the US with Cape Verdean ancestors. Immigration waves Prior to independence in 1975, Cape Verdean immigrants were registered as Portuguese immigrants from the overseas province of Portuguese Cape Verde. Cape Verdean immigration to the United States began in the early 19th century. The first Cape Verdean immigrants came aboard New England whaling ships, which would often pick up crewmen off the coast of Cape Verde. The presence of Cape Verdeans in the New England whaling inspired the fictional character Daggoo in Herman Melville's 1851 novel '' Moby-Dick''. Yankee captains in the packet trade valued Cape Verdeans as crew, because they “worked hard to save what they could while on board vessel they could be hired for much less money than American seamen. Furthermore, they made a disciplined ...

The beverage is made in towns such as Paul on Santo Antao and Cidade Velha on Santiago using a ''trapiche''.
