Casubody Playlist / February 2020 Updates
There was a time in the Cape Verdean community where a Homen Escercu mix was our key to finding the latest jams you'd hear at every function.⠀
⠀
We want our monthly playlist, Casubody Sound, to be a reference point for anyone who wants to hear classic Cape Verdean music mixed in with new kizomba, afrobeat + world jams from across the diaspora.

Casubody Sound: Cape Verdean House Party Classics
To celebrate Cape Verdean Independence Day 2019, we sat with DJ Lefty to turn him + DJ Larry Love's now classic, 'CV House Party Volume 1' mix, into a playlist. These songs to many throughout the Cape Verdean diaspora served as soundtracks to family parties and just songs that continue to keep us connected to our roots while away from the motherland.
This is a very small taste of the many songs and artists that continue to define Cape Verdean culture, generation after generation. Due to lack of availability of particular records on major streaming platforms, we dug deep into YouTube to put this together. The Casubody Sound: Cape Verdean House Party Classics playlist is now available on YouTube.
Listen + subscribe to our Casubody Sound: Kizomba + Afrobeat playlist, which we update monthly: http://staysilent.co/casubody
Casubody Sound Playlsit / May Updates
Taking it from the corners of Main St in Pawtucket to a Sigui Sabura party in Cape Verde. We updated our Casubody Sound playlist with new Kizomba + Afrobeat jams. There's some classics in there too.
Listen + follow the Casubody Sound playlist on Apple Music + Spotify
Luv U Better Playlist / May Updates
It’s always fire when you come across an old R&B song you haven’t heard in a while. Being caught by surprise in that way brings back so many memories. The song that did that for us this month was Marques Houston’s ‘All Because of You.’ We’ve updated the LuvUBetter playlist with May updates. Stream and subscribe now via Apple Music + Spotify
Nino Francis - 'Vibes' (Music Video)
Nino didn’t in fact sing about catching these hands, he sang about vibes [sorry - inside joke]
‘Vibes’ has been in heavy rotation since last summer and it’s great to see it finally have a visual. We threw a party, that shit was fun, here you have the ‘Vibes’ video, directed by our own WHERE’S NASTY.
Cam Bells f/ Avenue - "Other Side" (Music Video)
We love when family links up. On the anniversary of Cam’s Young King, Old Soul, he releases a visual for Other Side featuring Mass Ave’s finest, Avenue. It’s always dope to see these two connect and how far they’ve both come since being headliners of our first HOMEGROWN in 2013 at Fete. WAY BACK!
Luv U Better Playlist / April Updates
Every month on the week of Luv U Better we update our playlist to give y'all something to vibe before the party. For our April update, we let this month's guest, DJ Real P, takeover the playlist. He provided us with grooves, jams, b-sides and classics. Listen now on Apple Music + Spotify
That Bounce Playlist / March Updates
If we could put all of the energy of Bounce House into one playlist, it’d be That Bounce. Some new stuff we’re listening to, some staples, and just songs you should know before the party on Saturday. Stream + follow our playlists now via Apple Music + Spotify.
¡Activo! Playlist / March Updates
Monday is here and we’re still thinking about the function on Friday. Norlan + Coro King had it feeling like a hookie (you were a bad kid if you went to one!). Shout to Jota for blessing us with the latest updates to the ¡Activo! playlist. Stream now on Apple Music + Spotify.
Luv U Better Playlist / March Updates
You might need this to get you thru the work day, a soundtrack for the weekend or to prepare yourself for Luv U Better later tonight. This month, Sabrina not only will be the curator of lollipops but she put together this fire playlist. Stream and subscribe now via Apple Music + Spotify
Luv U Better Playlist / February Updates
