- Serenata de Amor is a period piece set in the 1940s on the island of Brava, Cape Verde, and is a tribute and homage to the morna of Cape Verde. Brava is the island renowned for legendary composers of the morna, including Eugenio Tavares, who is widely considered the Mozart of Cape Verdean music. Serenata de Amor is about unrequited love, the hope of love, forbidden love, and the triumph of love. Told in song, the story of Serenata revolves around a young man arriving at a villa in Brava with a group of musicians to serenade the woman of his dreams. The serenade was very much a part of the tradition of courtship and romance in Brava, with elaborate protocol and etiquette but also often fraught with peril because of class divisions.
