I think it's equal in certain areas of Latin America and English America. Aframs and English-speaking West Indians have a lot of African influence in cuisine. In the Caribbean we've got lots of influences in our music (not dancehall- someone mentioned calypso, but there are others) and things like folk tales, superstitions, etc.

What about French speaking caribbean islands, Haiti, Guadeloupe, Martinique? Are we part of Latin America?

Non. You guys are closer to us (English speaking Caribbean folks). I was going to say that places like Haiti and Martinique have a lot of African influences in music.
