The culture of Venezuela is a mixture of 3 different cultures: the European in particular Spanish, the Portuguese and the Italian), the indigenous and the African.
With the beginning of oil farms in the early twentieth century, companies and citizens from the United States are established. Later, in the middle of the century, especially at the beginning of the post-war era, a new wave of immigrants of Italian, Spanish, and new Portuguese, Lebanese, German, Croatian immigrants came to join Venezuelan society , Chinese, Japanese (among others); and from various countries in Latin America (Colombia, Ecuador, Argentina, Peru, Chile, Dominican Republic, Haiti, Mexico, etc.) during the Boom Petrolero of the 1970s.
The majority of Arab immigration in Venezuela consists of Lebanese and Syrians. At the end of the 19th century, the first Arabic-speaking immigrants arrived, dedicating themselves to trade and pearl fishing on Margarita Island. At the beginning of the 20th century, more people of Arab origin arrived. As at that time these countries were under Turkish rule, these immigrants brought passports from that country, which is why they are colloquially called Turks until today. Even today, many of these immigrants are engaged in commerce in the main cities of the country. There are Native Americans mainly of Caribbean origin. A large number of Latin American immigrants attracted by the country's great resources have arrived in Venezuela in the 20th century. These continuous waves of migration increased the complex racial mosaic of the country. In Venezuela there have never been racial problems, on the contrary it is a solidarity population.
The culture of Venezuela is based on food including stuffed arepa, cachapa with cheese and fried pork. Fish soup, the pavilion and the famous hallaca accompanied by the ham and salad bread, the music represented in the joropo llanero and the oriental dance of the devils of yare the windward drums that represent the African gunboat music that remained of the Spanish.
