about

Naquêl Tempo Câ Tinha

Far from home, Elísio Gomes and Papá de Betina got together in 1989 in the Estúdios ‎Musicorde in Lisbon to record a very personal album: Naquêl Tempo Câ Tinha. Navigating between frenetic upbeat funanás and melodic mornas with shades of blue, each sings of his own personal experience. Very different yet bound by the same island across the sea: Santiago, Cabo Verde. That sea depicted on the cover of the album as an echo of home and of the unknown that awaits us on the other side. This is dedicated to Papá.


Elísio Gomes

Elísio Gomes (born Elísio Alves Cabral Gomes) is a name in Cape Verdean music with more than 40 years of experience.

Born on 9 March 1964 in Saltos Acima, in the municipality of Santa Catarina on the island of Santiago, Cabo Verde, he entered the world of music from a very early age. Nothing could keep him away from his passion, and between domestic chores and schoolwork, Elísio would build guitars out of oil cans and drums out of everyday materials.

But like most Cape Verdeans, soon came his time to emigrate, and in 1981 he moved to Lisbon to learn drums and percussion at the music school of Conde Redondo. He has not stopped since, bringing together funaná, batuko, reggae and kizomba, to just name a few.

Elísio counts 8 albums, having kicked off with Chuma Lopes, recorded in Portugal in 1985 with Joaquim “Fefé” Varela and Naquêl Tempo Câ Tinha, recorded in 1989 with Papá de Betina. In 1991 he began his on-going solo career, which took him to France and the United States. Elísio traces the sky as his limit, and always tries his best to spread Cape Verdean culture all across the globe.


Papá de Betina

Papá de Betina (born Octávio Gomes da Silva) was a musician of excellence, a voice and guitar that positively marked a generation of musical and cultural production.

Born on 22 April 1963 in Assomada, in the municipality of Santa Catarina on the island of Santiago, Cabo Verde, he began his musical career actively taking part in avant-garde cultural movements such as GAMA 80, Djurba 79, Dilimundo and “Grupo de Amigos de Música de Assomada”.

After moving to Europe, Papá de Betina traced his path between France and Portugal, mixing different styles and proving his talent also as a music producer. From vibrant sounds to soothing mornas, he sang of social injustice, emigration, independence, politics and religion, with ever-present and deep awareness.

Papá de Betina passed away on 28 March 2022, shortly after accepting with great enthusiasm to take part in Naquêl Tempo Câ Tinha’s reissue. He lives on in all the people he touched with his music.
