    Default Sao Tome & Principe.

    Sao Tome & Principe.









    Culture:
    São Toméan culture is a mixture of African and Portuguese influences.

    Cuisine:
    Santomean cuisine comprises the cuisine, dishes and foods of São Tomé and Príncipe, a Portuguese-speaking island nation in the Gulf of Guinea, off the western equatorial coast of Central Africa. The country consists of two archipelagos around the two main islands: São Tomé and Príncipe, located about 140 kilometres (87 mi) apart and about 250 and 225 kilometres (155 and 140 mi), respectively, off the northwestern coast of Gabon.

    Staple foods include fish, seafood, beans, maize and cooked banana. Tropical fruits such as pineapple, avocado and bananas are a significant component of the cuisine. The use of hot spices is prominent in São Tomése cuisine. Coffee is utilized in various dishes as a spice or seasoning. Breakfast dishes are often reheated leftovers from the previous evening's meal, and omelettes are popular.

    Domestic food-crop production is inadequate to meet local consumption, so the country imports much of its food. In 1997 it was estimated that 90 percent of the country's food needs are met through imports. Furthermore, the country is not self-sufficient in meat and food grain production, and is reliant upon imports of these foods. In 2003 it was estimated that 8.33% of the country's total land is arable.

    Primary food crops include bananas, breadfruit, taro, maize, beans, papaya, palm oil, and primary agricultural production crops for export include cocoa, copra and coffee. Fish and seafood is prominent in São Tomése and Príncipe cuisine, and the fishing industry there contributes approximately 25 percent to the country's gross domestic product. Poultry is also raised in São Tomé and Príncipe. The nation's cuisine has been influenced and shaped by African and Portuguese settlers.


    Music:
    São Toméans are known for ússua and socopé rhythms, while Príncipe is home to the dêxa beat. Portuguese ballroom may have played an integral part in the development of these rhythms and their associated dances.

    Tchiloli is a musical dance performance that tells a dramatic story. The danço-Congo is similarly a combination of music, dance and theatre.


    Ethnic Racial Composition:
    * 79.5% Mulatto
    * 18.6% Black
    * 1.9% White


    People:
    The population consists mainly of Forros (from forro, Portuguese for “free man”), descendants of immigrant Europeans and African slaves. Another group, the Angolares, descended from runaway Angolan slaves who were shipwrecked on São Tomé about 1540. The Angolares remained apart in the isolated southern zone of São Tomé island until the late 19th century, but they later spread throughout the country and became largely assimilated.

    Cape Verdeans form the largest group of resident foreigners; many have adopted São Toméan nationality. Angolans and Mozambicans make up most of the rest of the African immigrant community. Like the Cape Verdeans, they are relatively well integrated with the other islanders, because of a shared Luso-African cultural background. There is a small European population—primarily Portuguese—in the country.


    Languages:
    Portuguese is the official language of Sao Tome & Principe. However, the local informal dialect and most spoken language is Portuguese based Creole languages such as Forro, Angolar, and Principe. They are all based on the Portuguese spoken in modern-day Central and Southern Portugal with heavy influences from West & Central African languages. Forro & Principe are basically identical, however Angolar is slightly different in which it is more influenced by Angolan Bantu languages such as Kimbundu, as compared to Forro & Principe in which they are more Kwa influenced, but they all have their origins in Portuguese, Kwa, Bantu, and other West African languages.

    Religion:
    Almost all residents belong to the Roman Catholic, Evangelical Protestant, or Seventh-day Adventist churches, which in turn retain close ties with churches in Portugal. There is a small but growing Muslim population.

    Sports:
    Football (soccer) has always been the most popular sport in Sao Tome and Principe. The first local association was founded in 1931, and a national federation was created in 1977, two years after independence.

    São Tomé is even more remote and secret than Cape Verde. I haven't met anyone who've been there.

    They speak Portuguese
    All around me are familiar faces, worn out places, worn out faces
    Bright and early for the daily races, going nowhere, going nowhere
