Os Tubarões, also known as The Sharkes, were regarded as Cape Verde's "official" band in the post-independence era. This seven-piece group served as ambassadors of Cape Verdean music, showcasing light-hearted coladera dances, traditional morna songs, and funaná beats that addressed the challenges faced by Cape Verde's widespread diaspora. Notably, none of the band members were full-time musicians; they also held professions as lawyers, doctors, and civil servants. Os Tubarões recorded a total of eight albums between 1976 and 1994.
