    http://www.worldheadquarters.com/panama/people/
    
    Extractions: The Isthmus of Panama has been a source of several different forms for quite some time, separating both the world's two largest oceans, as well as North and South America. The Panamanian is: friendly, fun, tolerant, proud and eager to please, with a host of professional services directed towards the visitor. It was this discovery that would not only serve as the foundation, but continue to shape the identity of the Panama people. The Spanish colony permitted the integration of the indigenous tribes, black African slaves and white Europeans, creating a very unique, special blend of cultures and physical characteristics. These distinct features are well represented throughout Panama, most notably among the creollos and mulattos. In fact, there is a commonly repeated expression, which when translated into English, reads "the best thing that the Spanish left on our soil were the mulattas". Their beauty and sensuality that results from the delicate union between blacks and whites is very noticeable. The varied ethnic cultures and physical characteristics also generated folklore, combining African drums with European lyrics and guitar playing. Along the Caribbean coast one would encounter dances, accompanied by decorative costumes, paying homage their loved ones, or otherwise narrating the lurid conditions of the slaves. En Portobelo, the principal port of the Caribbean, one could witness the legendary fairs that grouped the commercial floats of the "Rio de la Plata", accompanied by European floats of products shuttled by mule. These events helped reaffirm the culture, hospitality and service oriented demeanor that is so typically Panamanian.

    Extractions: If you are a Panamanian artist or wish to suggest sources of Panamanian art, please email PanamianArt@folkart.com The Kuna of Panama inhabit the Comarca de Kuna Yala which has been a semi-autonomous territory with the county of Panama since 1925. This region consists of more than 365 islands and a strip of land on the Atlantic coast of Panama. Kuna women are known for their colorful customs which consists of a patterned blue cotton wrapped skirt, red and yellow head scarf, arm and leg beads, gold nose rings and earrings ant the intricately sewn mola panel blouse. The mola panels of the blouse are hand-woven in a reverse appliqué technique using several layers of differently colored cotton. The mola may also be decorated with very fine embroidery. Mola panels have become much sought after and collected examples of textile folk art. The artistry of a mola reflects a synthesis of traditional Kuna culture with the influences of the modern world. Molas developed when Kuna women had access to store-bought yard goods and they are often inspired by modern graphics such as political posters, labels, pictures from books, and modern technology as well themes from traditional Kuna legends. Kuna women spend hours sewing panels for their blouses. When they tire of a particular blouse, the disassemble it and sell the molas to collectors. The most valued molas are the ones that have actually been worn as part of a Kuna woman's costume. Of course, the Kunas, being very creative people, have adapted the mola technique to other uses and now produce mola designs on a variety of useful objects such as pot holders, bags, eyeglass cases, stuffed animals, Christmas decorations, and pop can insulators!
