You Can’t Live with Your Mouth Shut
- Synopsis
- On the island of Santiago, in the Cape Verde archipelago, lives Mano Mendi, the last player of cimboa, a one-string violin used to accompany the traditional batuque music. Through the portrait of Mano Mendi and the learning experience of To, a music teacher in the capital city Praia, the film shows how this music is rooted in the rhythms of everyday life.
