An Immersive Experience

Food, music and traditions are some of the most important elements which define a culture. Caribbean culture is a unique blend of Indigenous, Spanish, and African influences.

The music of the Caribbean has spread much further than the chain of islands, influencing the modern music landscape with its many genres. Caribbean music genres are diverse and related to Central America and South American music.

Along with African, European, Indian and Indigenous influences, Caribbean music is a synthesis of contributions from other communities such as Indo-Caribbean music. The Caribbean’s music styles range from, bachata, merengue, palo, mombo, x, to dancehall, reggae, reggaeton, salsa, and many more.
