Belize Culture
|
|
Since Belize is such a small
country with a small population of people, it lacks the vibrant
cultural scene found in larger countries. That doesn’t
mean that the culture doesn’t exist, it just means that
you will have to poke around harder and find the local music,
literature, art, and architecture that lies within the country.
Some architecture that sill exists and is worth mentioning is
St. Johns Cathedral, and the Paslow buildings. You won’t
find a club to listen to local |
music on every block, but a traditional performance of Garifuna,
a drumming and dance combination can be found in the southern regions
of Belize. As for the people of Belize, English is the official language,
but travelers will run across a wide range of languages and people.
While walking around the country you might hear, Creole, Spanish,
Arabic, Hindi, or even the archaic German used by the country's small
Mennonite community.
