Guyana is one of a few mainland territories that is considered to be a part of the Caribbean region.Guyana's musical tradition is a mix of Indian, African, European, and native elements.Among the most successful Guyanese record producers are Rohit Jagessar, Eddy Grant, Terry Gajraj and Dave Martin. the most famous sports in guyana is soft ball, cricket, basketball, table tennis, boxing.There are more. Guyanese cuisine has many similarities to that of the rest of the Caribbean. The food is diverse and includes dishes such as curry, roti and cookup rice (a one-pot meal of rice with beans or peas sometimes a combination of both accompanied by chicken salt or fish).Dishes have been adapted to Guyanese tastes, often by the addition of spices. Unique preparations[3] include Pepperpot, a stew of Amerindian origin made with Cassareep (a bitter extract of the cassava), hot pepper and seasoning. Other favourites are cassava bread, stews, and Metemgie, a thick rich soup with a ground provision coconut base and fluffy dumplings, eaten with fried fish or chicken. Homemade bread-making, an art in many villages, is a reflection of the British influence that includes pastries such as cheese roll, pine (pineapple) tart, and patties (sister to the Jamaican beef patty).Many religions are practised in Guyana, the predominant ones being Christianity, Hinduism and Islam. this is the country i have grown to know and love. my family is guyanese and i am proud to be part of it
