He attended high school in his home country, went to pursue studies in Portugal[1] but did not achieve studies for health reasons.[2] He was one of the founders of the Cultural Supplement Bulletin of Cape Verde in 1958.[1] He lived in exile in the Netherlands due to his pro-independence activities in his native land and produced 100 poems there.
