The Caribbean is one region, and in many ways, one united community, but with myriad vibrant, individual cultures. Each island has its own historical influences, resulting in different traditions, cuisine, cocktails, festivals, and music.

Languages vary from English to Spanish, French, and Creole, the latter influenced by French, Spanish, or Dutch, with Hindi and African expressions thrown in. Travel the region and you’ll be seduced by the rhythms of everything from konpa, reggae to soca and calypso.

The islands do share a number of common cultural traits. The legacy of slavery and emancipation has shaped everything from music and storytelling to architecture. Family values influence the rituals of day-to-day life; sitting down to eat together, attending church, and often, living as a multigenerational household.
