Na-Ná is said to play the traditional music instrument ferrinho. Together with his companion Funa, who played harmonica, they are said to have developed the dance and music style Funaná. Besides music and dance, this style also consisted of traditional male behaviour. Funaná is said to have originated when slavery ended on the island of Santiago in Cape Verde.

 No one knows exactly whether Na-Ná really existed because the history of Funaná is not being saved in music script. It was traditional male behaviour in Santiago that ensured that this style of music and dance was preserved.  
 
In an exuberant solo performance with traditional music, modern dance, theatre, light and fashion, Djam Neguin bends the man as ruler into an answer for the future. 

  • Duration: 40 mins
