The Areito was a religious ceremony where the Tainos sang songs and showed off their different dance moves. These ceremonies were held to celebrate ancestors and Taino Gods. Numerous instruments like guiros, drums and maracas were played during these ceremonies.

Ropa Vieja Ropa vieja is one of Cuba's main cultural dishes. It is a simple dish where shredded beef or steak is simmered down in tomato sauce served white rice and plaintains or black beans. The tomato sauce is seasoned with different herbs like garlic, onions and bell peppers.

Tambu Musical Tradition The Dutch Leeward Islands main musical tradition is known as "Tambu". This musical tradition is African inspired and has relations to colonialism and slavery.Tambu can be in a musical form or it can be formed into a dance. The tambu drum is the main instrument used in Tambu music. The top part of the tambu drum is made out of sheepskin and the barrel part is made from hollowed log or rum barrel (LeGrand, 2019). The tambu musical style uses call-and-response singing accompanied by participants clapping and stomping. As mentioned before, Tambu can also be recognized as a dance. If you would like to learn how to 'Tambu' just stand directly in front of your partner without touching them, make shuffling steps with your feet while making small circular movements with your hips (or like we Bahamians love to say "wine ya boungee!").
