While Dominica's entertainment content is largely influenced by Caribbean and African traditions, there is also a significant European influence on the island's popular culture. Many Dominicans have ancestral ties to Europe, particularly to France and the UK, and this is reflected in the island's music, literature, and art. For example, the island's traditional folk music, known as " Jing Ping," has been influenced by European folk traditions, while the island's cuisine is a fusion of African, European, and indigenous influences.
