Bahamian Culture
The people who live in The Bahamas are predominantly of West African descent who were captured and forced into slavery on the cotton plantations in the Americas. Most white residents of the Bahamas are descendants of the first English settlers (English Puritans ), who emigrated to Bermuda in 1647 to gain religious freedom and settled on the island of Eleuthera. The culture is a melting pot of many native customs ranging from the indigenous "Indian" people who populated the Bahamas, including West African, English and other cultures who over the past three or four centuries, arrived in the Bahamas. People from many diverse backgrounds, such as British Loyalists (accompanied by slaves) fleeing America after the War of Independence, Bermudan slaves, people from other Caribbean islands, and many other nationalities. Bahamian culture today has been shaped by their experiences, beliefs and lifestyles. Want to learn more about the culture of the Bahamas? We have fascinating information both current and historical.

Culture
The traditional culture of The Bahamas lives away from the American-influenced urban centers of Nassau and Freeport. The islands' folkways stem in large part from the tales, bush medicine, music and religion brought over by African slaves. A popular 'folk' religion is obeah, a system of beliefs governing interactions between the living and the spirit world. It's a less sinister cousin of Haitian voodoo and Cuban santería. The vast majority of Bahamians, however, belong to mainline Christian denominations (though many Anglican priests hedge their bets and mix a little good-willed obeah into their practice). Most islanders are steadfast in their religious beliefs: many taxi drivers and office workers keep a Bible at hand. Church affairs make headline news, while major international events are relegated to the inside pages. The country claims the greatest number of churches per capita in the world.

http://www.bahamasgateway.com/bahamas_bush_medicine.htm
Bahamian Bush Medicine Bahamians have used indigenous plants for medicinal purposes for hundreds of years. This tradition, called "bush medicine," was brought to the Bahamas by African slaves and gained importance in the out islands where doctors were rarely available. Cat Islanders , with their reputation for longevity, attribute bush medicine with keeping them healthy. Nearly 100 plants in the islands of the Bahamas have been used to cure such common ailments as indigestion, colds, diarrhea, and headaches. There are even bush medicine treatments for diseases such as leukemia and cancer! In fact, some of these herbal remedies are beginning to be researched and used by herbalists and natural health practitioners worldwide as viable treatments for serious illnesses, including hepatitis and HIV. One of the most versatile native Bahamian plants is the Lignum vitae ( Guiacum officinale (tree of life), (or as many old folk call it "Nigly Whitey") the national tree of the

4. Bahamas Culture: Junkanoo Festival
bahamas culture Junkanoo Festival.
http://www.bahamatravelnet.com/culture/junkanoo.html
Changes in L'attitudes To experience Bahamian culture and art, you should make plans to attend Junkanoo. The Bahamian festival of Junkanoo is an energetic, colourful parade of brightly costumed people gyrating and dancing to the rhythmic accompaniment of cowbells, drums and whistles. The celebration occurs on December 26 and January 1 - beginning in the early hours of the morning (2:00 a.m.) and ending at dawn. Junkanoo is reminiscent of New Orleans' Mardi Gras and Rio de Janeiro's Carnival, but it is distinctly Bahamian and exists nowhere else. Parade participants - arranged in groups of up to 1,000 - are organized around a particular theme. Their costumes, dance and music reflect this theme. At the end of the Junkanoo procession, judges award cash prizes. The three main categories for the awards are: best music, best costume and best overall group presentation. The most spectacular Junkanoo parade occurs in Nassau. However, you can also experience it on Grand Bahama, Eleuthera, Bimini and Abaco. It's held on Boxing Day (December 26) and New Year's Day (January 1) from 2:00 a.m. until 8:00 a.m. If you wish to experience the cultural festival of Junkanoo, plan ahead and arrive early. In Nassau, some of the best views are upstairs on Bay Street, or on the street-side bench seats, which you may reserve in advance.

5. Bahamas Culture: Art, Dance And Music
Some consider Bahamian sacred music, which has been influenced by colonialdomination and American culture, to be its best cultural expression.
http://www.bahamatravelnet.com/culture/art.html
Changes in L'attitudes Many Bahamians have an artistic side, which they express through their colourful art, infectious music or exuberant dancing. When you visit The Bahamas, take time to view the local artwork. Not surprisingly, you'll see brightly coloured art that reflects the beauty of the people and their islands. Some artists - like Amos Ferguson, Maxwell Taylor and Stan Burnside - have attained international acclaim. Ferguson's works are on permanent display at the Pompey Museum in Nassau. The traditional music of The Bahamas is goombay, which combines the musical traditions from Africa with that of the European colonial influence. Goombay, the Bantu word for "rhythm," also refers to the type of goatskin drum used to produce the rolling rhythm of this type of music. Rake and scrape bands have been playing goombay music since the time of slavery, when African slaves had few resources to create musical instruments. Typically, rake and scrape bands had a drum fashioned out of a pork barrel and goatskin, a carpenter's saw that was scraped with a metal file, maracas, rhythm sticks and a homemade bass violin (a washtub with a string through it that was tied to a three-foot stick). Traditionally, rake and scrape music is used to accompany the Bahamian Quadrille and the Heel and Toe Polka dances - another example of how African and European influences have blended together.

6. Bahamas Culture: The People
bahamas culture the people.
http://www.bahamatravelnet.com/culture/people.html
Changes in L'attitudes Most Bahamians are of African descent - about 85 percent. The remaining white population is directly descended from Loyalists, Eleutheran adventurers and sailors. Some families have been Bahamian for over two centuries. Bahamians are a dynamic, independent and friendly people who love music. Religion is an important part of their lives and churches are plentiful. English is spoken throughout the islands. People-To-People Programme People-to-People is a year-round Ministry of Tourism programme intended to give visitors a genuine and informal view of Bahamian hospitality and culture as you might see it when visiting a friend. Volunteers holding interests similar to yours are available to give a sample of Bahamian life in a convenient, personal way. You may join them at home for pleasant conversation and an authentic Bahamian meal, at civic or social clubs, at a church service or sports event, or see the sights with a native interpretation. People-to-People is a popular activity. More than 1,000 volunteers are available in Nassau and about 100 in Freeport. They come from all walks of life and undergo an eligibility screening prior to becoming enrolled. Visitors are matched with residents of similar age groups, interests and professions - for example, pairing a visiting schoolteacher with a Bahamian teacher. Because many volunteers are professionals, most get-togethers take place in the evenings or on weekends and volunteers will gladly donate their time in the spirit of international goodwill.

Most black Bahamians speak both standard English and patois. While The Bahamas has yet to produce a writer of world renown and its visual arts scene has been slow to take shape, the islands have a vibrant musical culture. The country has produced several traditional forms of music, including goombay, a synthesis of calypso, soca and English folk songs; and down-home, working-class 'rake 'n' scrape,' usually featuring guitar, accordion and shakers made from the pods of poinciana trees.

Bahamas History
The Lucayan Indians had the islands mostly to themselves until Columbus showed up in 1492 and claimed them for Spain. But the Spanish needed gold, silver and valuable trade goods, and the newly acquired Bahamian real estate provided few of those things. Soon the Spanish relaxed their stranglehold on the islands. By the mid 1600s, England claimed the region and British colonists began to settle on the islands. After that, the history of the Bahamas is closely intertwined with that of the U.S. British Loyalists moved to the islands from New England and the Carolinas after the Revolutionary War, wishing to remain under British rule. Later, slaves from the southern U.S. fled to the Bahamas in order to gain their freedom. During the Civil War, Confederates used the islands as a center for blockade running, and during Prohibition, the islands were a base for rumrunners. Although Bahamian culture has been influenced by heavy doses of U.S. tourism and television, it is still very British. (When the Bahamas became independent in 1973, it remained in the British Commonwealth.) Bahamian police officers wear bobby-style uniforms, and a statue of a young Queen Victoria stands at Parliament Square.

A culture rich in history - yet even richer in friendliness and the bounty of the Bahamas
Bahamian culture is like no other – a harmonious blending of many different peoples, traditions and ways of life. The first immigrants arrived in 1648, – dissident English Puritans (the "Eleutheran Adventurers") seeking religious freedom. Since then, the islands have witnessed the arrival of Bermudan slaves, British Loyalists fleeing America after the Revolution, freed Africans from slave ships, Seminoles from Florida, people fleeing the South after the Civil War, people from other Caribbean islands, as well as Chinese, Syrian and Greek immigrants. These peoples – with their different backgrounds, traditions and beliefs – shaped Bahamian culture into the unique, colorful patchwork of life and lifestyles that it is today. English is the official language of The Bahamas.

OF GREAT ABACO ISLAND Their origins were unclear until 1998, when it was recognized they might be Spanish Barbs. In August of 2002, based on DNA analyses and photo/video records, the horses were accepted by the Horse of The Americas Registry as Abaco Barbs, descendents of horses from the time of Columbus. After a sea voyage that could have lasted six weeks or more, they had been wrecked or abandoned centuries ago on Great Abaco island. Nearly extinct in the early 1970's, today they are once again fighting for their lives. To learn more, click here
The Abaco Islands are the Bahamas that time and the tourists forgot.
Tranquil bays, calm lagoons and secluded inlets... magnificent long white sand beaches and warm crystal waters... corkwood tree thickets and pine forests... cheerful New England-style villages... these are the Abacos.

Lusca, a mythical monster that is half dragon and half octopus, is said to live in these blue holes. If you take a boat out on a blue hole to go diving or fishing, be on the lookout for Lusca. He likes to drown unwary visitors. Since exploring underwater caves is inherently risky, and since these blue holes are teeming with fish, it is not surprising that ancient people believed that water accidents - like drowning - were caused by a mean-spirited creature named Lusca. Chickcharnies Andros is said to be the home of chickcharnies. These elfin, birdlike creatures have piercing red eyes, three fingers, three toes and a tail, which they use to hang from trees. Chickcharnies live in the forest and build nests by joining two pine trees together at the top.

MAKING BAHAMIAN MUSIC HISTORY
At left, the late Freddie Munnings, Sr. , one of Nassau's leading musician/composers, bandleaders, and entrepreneurs. He was the owner of the famed Cat and Fiddle Club, a venue where top Black artists from around the world came to entertain in the 50's and 60's. Among such artists were Nat King Cole, Dinah Washington, Harry Belafonte, Paul Anka, Count Basie, and Roy Hamilton. The club also featured talented artists from Spain, Mexico, and the Caribbean. The Cat and Fiddle was definitely the place to be in the 50's and 60's. In addition, his sons, Freddie Jr., (right) and Raphael Munnings (of "Funky Nassau" fame) followed closely in his footsteps musically, both being well-known Bahamian musicians. Fred Munnings, Jr., one of the coordinators of Junkanoo in June and one of the Junkanoo judges for the massive holiday rushouts, was instrumental in the production of a fabulous CD, Dreamer Man , in tribute to his father. The CD is a great mix of cultural/historical music with a distinctive Bahamian flavor. The poignant title tune, Dreamer Man, truly touches the core of one's soul; the cut, Come Back Home

Junkanoo Spirit photos taken with cultural love

And Bahamian sisters
For over a decade in both my cultural heart
and home I've constantly celebrated Junkanoo,
Now in my cultural heart and cyberhome,
I continually celebrate your sacred Spirit, too!
When I consider the very positive, sacred sistas who have crossed my lifepath, my mind just naturally flows to my sweet friend, the late Jacqueline Newton Baker, the sister of my friend, Steve "Papa Lou" Newton (who introduced me to Junkanoo), and the precious daughter of my wonderful sister/friend, Sandra Bethel Newton of Nassau, Bahamas. (That is Jackie on the right in the lime dress, helping her younger sister, Michelle ("Mickey") Newton Taft prepare for her wedding. Jackie, in her short years, lived a life of light, love, and service. Even in those last days of extreme physical challenge as the Spirit was compassionately calling her to just release this world and step into a soothing Light beyond comprehension, Jackie continued to gather whatever strength remaining in her body temple to smile and lovingly encourage others. Like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. stated(whose birthday of Jan. 15th Jackie shared)it is not the quantity of the life one lives, but the quality. Jackie lived a life of the very highest qualitybrimming over with sweetness, love, service, and devotion of the Divine. Well done and very well done, lovely sacred Bahamian sista. Enjoy that beauty-full world of unmatched Love and Light. You more than earned it.
