Os Tubarões, also known as The Sharks, were regarded as Cape Verde's "official" band during the post-independence era. This seven-piece group became ambassadors of Cape Verdean music, showcasing a blend of 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 members were full-time musicians; they held professions as lawyers, doctors, and civil servants. Os Tubarões recorded eight albums between 1976 and 1994.
