Kriolu is a creole language spoken mainly in Cape Verde, West Africa. The language is based on Portuguese with influences from African languages. The most popular musical artists using Kriolu language are Cesaria Evora, Lura, and Mayra Andrade.

In addition to music, Kriolu is also used in literature, poetry, and theater.
