Culture and traditions Grenada

 Traditions and customs

Grenada's culture, marked by the island's history, is a mixture of English, French, African and Indian influences. The European influence can be felt through public institutions and political organisation, while African influences have marked cultural and family life. More recently, African names given to the children reveal the revival of African culture. Cricket and soccer make up the national sports, and rally the whole of the population during tournaments and contests. Cricket fields are numerous and present throughout the island. Many players from the Caribbean are ranked at world level.
