Biography
Cabral, whose grandparents came from Cape Verde,[4] was born in North Providence, Rhode Island, on 24 April 1948. In the early 1970s, he worked in a day care center, where he realised the power of storytelling to entertain children and to teach them how to listen and communicate.[1] In 1976,[2] he began traveling to tell stories to school children,[4] adults and senior citizens,[5] firstly within New England,[2] and then across the US.[5] He tells traditional folk tales from Cape Verde,[1] Native America,[1] the Caribbean,[2] and other places around the world,[6] as well yarns from his own life.[1][4] Among his stories are tales of Anansi, Tubino and Nho Lobo,[1] Coyote and Old Man Winter[5] and other 'how and why' tales.[6] He is well known for his enthusiastic hand gestures and character voices.[4][5][7] He performs at storytelling festivals across the country[7] and internationally,[8] and is a regular performer at the National Storytelling Festival.
