Established in the middle of the Indian Ocean, the Maldives
islands are multi-faceted. The culture, traditions and customs
of the country are influenced by Indian, Sri Lankan, Malaysian,
Arab, Persian, Indonesian and even African influences. A
fabulous cultural mix that makes all the richness of the
Maldives.
In music and dance, for example, you will be surprised to
recognise a purely African rhythm. The Boduberu, a traditional
Maldivian dance, illustrates this perfectly. The language
accompanying this dance, followed by the rhythm of the
drums, will take you to East Africa.
Other music as well as some culinary specialties refer to the
South African or Indian origins of the Maldivians. The
inhabitants of the Maldives consume a lot of spices, including
curry. Coconut milk and fish also find their place in the
traditional dishes of the country such as in the Roshi.
