Carlos Alberto Silva Martins (Katchás)

Guitarist, composer and leader of Bulimundo from its foundation until 1986, Katchás will always be remembered as the mentor of the musical revolution unleashed by this group, by transforming the funaná - until then a peasant musical expression of Santiago without any impact outside the countryside - into a musical genre assumed nationally, generating an extensive discography and the most expressive of Cape Verdean culture.
