    Identification. Location and Geography. Demography. The population of the BVI is approximately twenty thousand, with three-quarters on Tortola.

    Culture of the Virgin Islands
    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Virgin Islander culture represents the various peoples that have inhabited the present-day U.S. Virgin Islands and British Virgin Islands throughout history. Although both territories are politically separate, they maintain close cultural ties. Like much of the English speaking Caribbean, Virgin Islander culture is syncretic, deriving chiefly from West African European and American influences. Though the Danish controlled the present-day U.S. Virgin Islands for many years, the very dominant language has been an English-based Creole since the 19th century, and the islands remain much more receptive to English language popular culture than any other. The Dutch, the French and the Danish also contributed elements to the island's culture, as have immigrants from the Arab world, India and other Caribbean islands. The single largest influence on modern Virgin Islander culture, however, comes from the Africans enslaved to work in canefields from the 17th to the mid-19th century. These African slaves brought with them traditions from across a wide swathe of Africa, including what is now Nigeria, Senegal, both Congos, Gambia and Ghana. Virgin Islands culture continues to undergo creolization, the result of inter-Caribbean migration and cultural contact with other islands in the region, as well as the United States. Migration has altered the social landscape of both countries to the extent that in the British Virgin Islands, half of the population is of foreign (mostly Caribbean) origin and in the U.S. Virgin Islands, most native-born residents can trace their ancestry to other Caribbean islands.

    The British Virgin Islands Cultural Experience
    Over the year the British Virgin Islands have seen a diverse group of people who have called these islands home. As the years passed people moved on and but the knowledge and culture remain. Today the Virgin Islands holds it's history dearly, protecting many ruins from the Dutch, Spanish and English. Preparing many dishes that were once made for slaves are now the delicacies of these Islands. Did I mention we have a unique sort of music and instruments that you would not be able to find anywhere else in the world.
    The People
    These islands have seen many different race of people including the Arawak, Carib, the Spanish, Dutch and finally ruled by England to this day. The islands are now populated with 86% African descent and show close roots. To celebrate Emancipation the British Virgin Islands holds annual August Festival that portray unique african costumes, classic village nights and dancing in the streets. Not able to make it to the British Virgin Islands in August, all year round buy one of a kind craft, paintings spices and drinks produced in the BVI.
    The Music
    The first form of music was closely linked to african heritage with a mixture of small instruments. We called this type of music Fungi (pronounced foon-gee). Fungi Music was quoted from
