Local rapper Ga Da Lomba (35). After moving to America in his late teens, where he says he fell in with a bad crowd, he returned home and spent the next 15 years hooked on cocaine, robbing to feed his habit. He now raps an anti-drugs message in the local Creole language.

The Cape Verde islands lie on what's known as 'Highway 10', the DEA's nickname for the smuggling route at 10 degrees north which provides the shortest distance from Latin America to Europe. In February 2019, police on the island made the world's biggest-ever seizure of Europe-bound cocaine, when they found nearly ten tonnes of cocaine on board a vessel.
