Dominican culture is a lively blend of Taíno, African, and Spanish influences. Music and dance play a central role, with merengue and bachata originating from the island. The country’s carnival celebrations, especially in La Vega, showcase colorful masks and costumes. Dominican cuisine features dishes like mangu and sancocho, often accompanied by rum or mamajuana. Baseball is not just a sport but a national passion, with many Major League players hailing from the Dominican Republic. The country’s colonial history is evident in the architecture of Santo Domingo’s Zona Colonial, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
