Dominican Republic
Culture
A plethora of cultures have left their stamp on Dominican society. Traditional Ta­no foods and medicines are familiar today, and Ta­no words - like hammock and tobacco - still pepper the language. Spanish settlers gave the country their language, the Roman Catholic faith and a deep strain of machismo. Africans brought here as slaves brought their own faith, inextricably bound in the dominant European offering, as well as art and music. Even US troops left their mark - Dominicans love baseball. It is a heady mixture. Music and dance is at the heart of Dominican culture. The most popular form is merengue, which will be blasted, full volume, almost anywhere you go in the country. A tad more pastoral is bachata, Dominican country music, with plenty of songs about heartbreak and loss. Salsa probably makes the third favorite musical type in the DR's holy trinity, though you'll find plenty of jazz, rock, hip-hop and just about anything else that'll keep your feet moving. The Dominican art scene is also quite healthy, thanks in no small part to dictator Rafael Trujillo. Creative freedom was not a hallmark of his reign, but the man did have a soft spot for painting. He founded the Escuela Nacional de Bellas Artes (National School of Fine Arts) in 1942, basically instituting the country's fine painting tradition. 'Primitive' art, which relies less on perspective and shading and more on color and action, is also popular; keep your eyes open for it. And to check out what's happening in edgier scenes, drop by the Museo de Arto Moderno in Santo Domingo.

    Dominican Republic History
    The area that's now the Dominican Republic was originally inhabited by the Taino people. Their way of life changed drastically in December 1492, when Christopher Columbus came upon the island of Hispaniola (which is now divided between the Dominican Republic and Haiti). On Columbus' second voyage, in 1493, he established the first Spanish colony in the Americas on what's now the north shore of the Dominican Republic. His brother Bartolome stayed to govern, and later moved the capital to what is now Santo Domingo on the south coast. As the early headquarters of the Spanish Empire in the New World, Santo Domingo flourished. It was the first city in New Spain to build a cathedral and found a university - just two of its many "firsts." Spain's influence began to wane in the late 1600s, and the Spanish ceded the western part of the island - Haiti - to France. The Spanish, French, British and Haitians continued to battle for control of eastern Hispaniola until 1844, when Juan Pablo Duarte helped establish the Dominican Republic as an independent nation. The government remained in turmoil well into the 1900s, with the U.S. intervening on several occasions.

    Contemporary Dominican society and culture are overwhelmingly Spanish in origin. Inreality, the Dominican Republic is a nation composed mainly of mulattos.
    http://www.kwabs.com/dominican_republic_culture.html
    Culture, Ethnic Heritage
    and Sociopolitics
    C ulture and Ethnic Heritage
    The island's indigenous inhabitants were the Taino Indians (Arawaks) group and a small settlement of Caribs around the Bahía de Samaná. These Indians, estimated to number perhaps 1 million at the time of their initial contact with Europeans, had almost died off by the 1550s. The importation of African slaves began in 1503. By the nineteenth century, the population was roughly 150,000: 40,000 of Spanish descent, an equal number of black slaves, and the remainder of freed blacks or mulattos. In the mid-1980s, approximately 16 percent of the population was considered white and 11 percent black; the remainder were mulattos (mixte black and white).
    Contemporary Dominican society and culture are overwhelmingly Spanish in origin. Taino influence is limited to cultigens and to a few vocabulary words, such as huracán (hurricane) and hamaca (hammock). The African influence has been largely ignored, although it is kept alive in certain religious brotherhoods that seem to have the same African roots than religions practiced all over the Caribbean by people of African origin
    There is a preference in Dominican society for light skin and "white" racial features.. Dominicans traditionally preferred to think of themselves as descendants of the island's Indians and the Spanish, ignoring their African heritage. In reality, the Dominican Republic is a nation composed mainly of mulattos. It will probably, some time in the future psycho cultural evolution, integrate its African heritage in the governing image of the Dominican person without decreasing the importance of its Spanish roots. Such an integration will be an ecclectic creolisation of the nation which will lead to its complete reconciliation with itself and allows it to build an effective modern cultural template based on its Spanish, Arawak and African roots.

This can be seen in the predominance of Roman Catholicism, the widespread use of French-based patois, and the commonness of French place names. African, West Indian and native Carib traditions all contribute to a Creole culture, resulting in mix of language, food, art and customs. Common sights include Carib dugout canoes, stilt houses, Rastafarian dreadlocks, and red, green and yellow African clothing. Dominica has a thriving music scene, centered mainly around reggae, calypso and zouk. Cricket and soccer are the most popular sports. Dominica's most celebrated author,Jean Rhys,was born in Roseau in 1890. Although she moved to England at age 16 and only made one brief return visit to Dominica, much of her work draws upon her childhood experiences in the West Indies. Rhys touches lightly upon her life in Dominica in her books Voyage in the Dark (1934) and her autobiography Smile Please (1979).

    The Taino Indians were the first settlers in the country of the Dominican Republic. There is still there a minute presence of them there. These people were quiet and worked on the agricultural aspects of the country. The country has subsequent been dominated by external leaders from Spain, France and the United States. Christopher Columbus gave the country the name Hispaniola when he "discovered" it in 1492. Santo Domingo, the Capital was built between the years 1496 and 1498. It was the first European city in the western hemisphere. It hosted the first catholic cathedral, the first hospital and the first university. The entire island had been under the Spanish influence for 200 years, until 1767 when the western third of the island was given to France under the Treaty of Ryswick. France gained control over the entire island in 1797 under the Treaty of Basle.

    Dominican Republic The white-sand beaches, impressive mountain ranges veined with spectacular rivers and waterfalls, and saltwater lakes teeming with exotic wildlife are just part of the Dominican Republic's appeal. Whether you're looking to party, relax or explore, the Dominican Republic has a lot to offer. Steer a small boat through endless mangrove forests in search of gentle manatees. Spy on lovesick humpback whales in the Bah­a de Saman¡. And once you've had your fill of this exquisite island's natural wonder, get back to civilization and prepare to party. The locals throw festivals, parties and carnivals like there's no tomorrow. Folks in the Americas' first European city, Santo Domingo, don't just spend their time admiring the fine colonial architecture gracing their home. Nope, this town has not one, but two complete Carnivals, complete with parades, elaborate floats, lots of live music and plenty of dancing in the streets. Pre-Lent Carnivals are celebrated in Santiago, Cabral, Monte Cristi and La Vega as well. If that's not enough, check out the country's two major merengue festivals, the annual Latin Music Festival and the national surfing and windsurfing championships.
    Warning
    While travel to the Dominican Republic is generally safe the country is experiencing a series of nationwide strikes protesting the current economic crisis. There has been violence during rallies and protesters often make a concerted effort to disrupt travel on the road to the airport.
