Joaquim Fernandes de Pina Alves, "Kim" Alves, was born in Achada de Santo António, in the heart of the city of Praia, in Santiago. Son of the renowned violinist Djonsinho Alves, he soon became interested in the magic that music transmitted to him. At the age of five, he already accompanied his father with the rattle, the shakers and the pandeiro. The transition from rhythm instruments to string instruments was fast. In less than a year, young Kim was playing the cavaquinho. Then there was the twelve-string viola, the guitar, and finally the violin.
His taste for music and his father's patience in teaching him would one day bear fruit. Kim Alves is currently one of the most prestigious music producers in Cape Verde.
