Culture and traditions Trinidad and Tobago

 Traditions and customs

Made up of over forty different ethnic groups, the population of Trinidad and Tobago is naturally cheerful and laid-back. Dancing, music and satire, the main attractions of the carnaval are part and parcel of the daily life of the people. A British heritage, cricket has remained a national sport loved passionately by the people. Like the santeria at Cuba or the voodoo cult at Haiti, the xango cult remains dynamic. An Afro-American syncretism, blending Anglican, Catholic, Protestant and Indian rites, this practice equally incorporates ceremonial rites from West Africa.
