Latin culture
Mediterranean-rooted traditions collectively
Latin culture refers to the shared traditions, values, customs, and social practices of people from Latin America and the Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking Caribbean, as well as their descendants living elsewhere.
The term encompasses a broad range of national and regional identities united by linguistic heritage, often Catholic religious traditions, and characteristic emphases on family bonds, festive celebration, music, and communal life.
In the United States, Latin culture often blends with American influences while maintaining distinctive elements like quinceañeras, specific cuisines, and Spanish-language media.
