Panama is the image of a true melting pot: Chinese, Indian, Swiss, Mestizo, Yugoslavian and North American people built this country. The carnival, celebrated 4 days before Ash Wednesday, is a favourite annual event (see it in Panama City or in Las Tablas, or even in smaller places such as the Azuero peninsula). Salsa is the most popular type of music in the country.
