Mestizo Culture

Mestizo culture refers to the blend of Indigenous and European (primarily Spanish) influences that emerged in Latin America following colonization. Mestizos are people of mixed ancestry, and their culture encompasses a rich fusion of traditions, languages, music, art, and cuisine. This cultural mix is evident in celebrations, such as Día de los Muertos, and various artistic expressions that reflect both Indigenous heritage and European styles. Mestizo culture plays a significant role in shaping the identities of many Latin American nations, representing resilience and adaptation throughout history.
