The religious devotion of El Cristo Negro (Black Christ) of Portobelo is one of the most popular in the Republic of Panama. According to tales about El Cristo Negro it arrived in the tiny community of Portobelo on Panama’s Caribbean coast circa of 1658. But the stories of miracles surrounding the eight-foot wooden statue of the Black Christ are enough to overwhelm the village with tens of thousands of pilgrims every October 21.
The present day music of Panama has been influenced, first by the Cuevas Gunas or Kunas, Teribes, Ngöbe–Buglé and other indigenous populations, since the 16th century by the European musical traditions, specially those from the Iberian Peninsula, and then by the black population who were brought over.
