Atlantic Shipping prepares to celebrate 30 years with a big Gala in Swansea, USA

Founded in the 1990s, Atlantic Shipping has become an essential reference in maritime transportation between the United States and Cape Verde, playing a key role in bringing communities closer together. The 30th anniversary is a symbolic milestone not only for the company, but also for thousands of Cape Verdeans who have found in it a bridge to their origins.

Among the highlights of the evening is the presence of the Prime Minister of Cape Verde, José Ulisses Correia e Silva, who will be traveling to the United States especially for this celebration. His participation is seen as recognition of the company's importance in strengthening relations between the country and its diaspora, especially in the United States, where one of the largest Cape Verdean communities resides.

The gala will also feature several leading figures from Cape Verdean politics, culture and civil society, reinforcing the institutional and cultural nature of the event.

The main show, entitled "Ilha a Ilha", promises to be an artistic journey through the traditions of the archipelago, bringing to the stage different sounds and cultural expressions that unite all the islands of Cape Verde.

Music, dance and big names in Cape Verdean culture

The musical program reserves special moments with the performances of renowned artists such as Cremilda Medina, the emblematic voice of morna and coladeira; Gilyto Semedo, known as the "Show Man" for his contagious energy; and Assol Garcia, a performer who has won recognition inside and outside the country.

The presentation will be given by Djosinha, a well-known artist and one of the most cherished voices on the radio, who will be joined by a surprise guest, keeping the audience in suspense until the moment of revelation.

To keep the festive atmosphere going until the early hours, musical entertainment will be provided by the well-known Dj Migatcha and Dj Cláudio, who promise to mix Cape Verdean rhythms with international influences.

One of the highlights of the evening will be the draw for a prize worth 10,000 dollars, which promises to generate great anticipation among those present. The organization also guarantees many other surprises throughout the evening, reinforcing the festive and supportive nature of the initiative.

The event will also feature a carefully prepared gala dinner, offering a gastronomic experience to match the celebration.
