What happens

Kolá San Jon é Festa di Kau Berdi (Kapverdisches Kreol für: Kolá San Jon ist das Fest der Kapverden) ist ein Dokumentarfilm des portugiesischen Regisseurs Rui Simões aus dem Jahr 2011. Er beschäftigt sich mit dem alljährlichen kapverdischen Fest Kolá San Jon, das für seinen charakteristischen Straßentanz bekannt ist und einen hohen Identitätswert für die Menschen von den Ilhas de Barlavento hat, insbesondere den beiden östlichsten und bevölkerungsreichsten Inseln São Vicente und Santo Antão.
