Postcards Nicaragua Culture Earthquakes and war have obliterated much tangible evidence of Nicaragua's cultural heritage, especially its colonial architecture - although Le³n retains many fine old buildings. Poetry is one of Nicaragua's most beloved arts, and no other Central American country can match its literary output. Rub©n Dar­o (1867-1916) is known as the 'Prince of Spanish-American literature,' and recent work by Nicaraguan poets, fiction writers and essayists can be found in most bookshops. Bluefields, the largely English-speaking town on the Caribbean coast, is a center for reggae music. The Archipi©lago de Solentiname in Lago de Nicaragua is famous as a haven for artists, poets and craftspeople. Sandinista street art in the form of modernist murals is especially prominent in the university town of Le³n. Spanish is the language of Nicaragua, but English and a number of indigenous languages are spoken on the Caribbean coast. The main religion is Catholicism, although there are a number of Protestant sects such as the Pentecostals and the Baptists. The Moravian church, introduced by British missionaries, is important on the Caribbean coast. A typical meal in Nicaragua consists of eggs or meat, beans and rice, salad (cabbage and tomatoes), tortillas and fruit in season. Most common of all Nicaraguan foods is

5. Amigos De Nicaragua: Culture Nicaragua is one such place with a natural beauty that is thankfully still not compromised and a warm and vibrant culture that is totally unpretentious. http://www.amigosdenicaragua.org/culture.htm

CULTURE Earthquakes and war have obliterated much tangible evidence of Nicaragua's cultural heritage, especially its colonial architecture - although León retains many fine old buildings. Poetry is one of Nicaragua's most beloved arts and no other Central American country can match its literary output. Rubén Darío (1867-1916) is known as the 'Prince of Spanish-American literature' and recent work by Nicaraguan poets, fiction writers and essayists can be found in most bookshops. Bluefields, the largely English-speaking town on the Caribbean coast, is a center for reggae music. The Archipiélago de Solentiname in Lago de Nicaragua is famous as a haven for artists, poets and craftspeople. Sandinista street art in the form of modernist murals is especially prominent in the university town of León. Spanish is the language of Nicaragua but English and a number of Indian languages are spoken on the Caribbean coast. The main religion is Catholicism, although there are a number of Protestant sects such as the Pentecostals and the Baptists. The Moravian church, introduced by British missionaries, is important on the Caribbean coast. Nicaragua is also home to red-roofed Spanish colonial cities with magnificent churches and cathedrals, little white villages set in coffee and pineapple farms, island bound art colonies, a wide open countryside where horses and oxcarts are still the mode of transport and some of Latin America's most beautiful ceramic, leather and wood crafts and the world's best hammocks and most delicious and varied rum.

Nicaragua became a fully independent country in 1834. In the 1850s, a U.S. citizen, William Walker, attempted his own takeover of Central America and was most successful in Nicaragua - he managed to make himself president. But two attempts to take over the rest of Central America failed. (He was finally tried and executed in Honduras.) Other parties, especially in the U.S., were also keeping an eye on the country in the late 1800s. One of the main reasons for their interest was Nicaragua's geography: The Rio San Juan and Lake Nicaragua were viewed as a possible route for a shipping canal that would connect the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean.

From the 1890s to the 1930s, various coups, rebellions and dictators were part of Nicaraguan politics. The U.S. sent troops on several occasions in an attempt to control the course of events. Anastasio Somoza became president in 1937 after ousting his rivals, including the rebel leader Augusto Sandino (who was assassinated). The Somoza family ruled Nicaragua for the next 40 years, amassing great wealth - they eventually owned a large portion of the country. Until the late 1970s, they enjoyed the continued support of the United States.

Nicaragua - Culture Overview In Nicaragua the majority of the people, including mestizos, whites, and mulattos, share a Hispanic culture. Only a small percentage of the population living on the Caribbean coast is non-Spanish speaking and non-Catholic. Nicaraguans are divided not by ethnicity but rather by the lingering effects of the Sandinista Revolution of 1979 and the subsequent civil war of the 1980s. Peace has been restored, but people continue to contest questions of national identity. So, for example, everyone agrees that El Gueguense, a piece of popular theater performed and passed on orally since the colonial period, portrays many important aspects of the Nicaraguan character. There is disagreement, however, over whether the roots of these characteristics are popular and revolutionary, or rather come from a more elite tradition. The majority of Nicaraguans are Catholic and most communities observe a religious calendar that culminates in festive parades honoring the local patron saint. As in much of Central America, however, the coastal culture of the Caribbean lowlands is distinct from that of the more westerly, majority groups. In Nicaragua, the coast is inhabited by descendants of Africans and indigenous peoples (Miskito, Rama, and Sumu) who in the past preferred to deal with the British rather than the Spanish. The indigenous groups, dominated by the Miskito, are centered closer to the northern border with Honduras. Blacks are concentrated in the southeastern town of Bluefields, where their cultural traditions are manifest in such celebrations as Mayo Ya, which combines English May Pole traditions with Caribbean folklore and African music and dance. Bluefields is also home to a lively reggae community.

home search help worldguide ... Postcards Nicaragua Nicaragua is best known not for its landscape or cultural treasures, but for the Contra war, in which the people rose up in hope only to be derailed by US-orchestrated interference. Since then, widespread privatisation and deregulation have left much of the country unemployed or in a state of shock. The good news is that throughout this period human rights have largely been respected and the country's battles are now confined to the political arena. Nicaragua is a fascinating destination for those travellers who have an awareness of history and enjoy getting to know the grass roots. Warning Since the end of the civil war, armed criminal groups have operated out of the remote sectors of the northern and central regions, especially along the Honduran border. Travelers should exercise caution, taking care to travel on major highways during daylight hours only. Full country name: Republic of Nicaragua Area: 129,494 sq km Population: 5.2 million People: 69% mestizo, 17% European descent, 9% African descent, 5% indigenous peoples Language: English, Spanish; Castilian
