Culture Of Guyana
Guyanese culture reflects the influence of African, Indian and Nepalese, Amerindian, Chinese, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch and British cultures.
Guyana is one of a few mainland territories of South America that is considered to be a part of the Caribbean region. Guyanese culture shares many commonalities with the cultures of islands in the West Indies, particularly in the coastal regions of the country (where the majority of the population is concentrated). Connections to other South American cultures also play an important part in Guyanese culture. The influence of Brazilian culture, for example, is particularly visible in the south of the country.
