The
Republic of Costa Rica is a republic of Central
America. Remarkably for the region, Costa Rica has stood
as a bastion of stability and democracy since the minor
civil war of the late 1940s that brought President José
Figueres Ferrer to power. In fact, Costa Rica has no
military, only a domestic police force (albeit a heavily
armed one). The capital is San José.
Costa Rica was the point where the Mesoamerican and South American native cultures meet. The north of the country was the southernmost point of Mayan influence when the Spanish conquistadores came in the 16th century. On the opposite, the center and south portions of the country had chibcha influences. Due to the practice of enslavement in the 17th and 18th centuries, the Atlantic coast of the country was populated with african slaves. In the meantime, thousands of Chinese families came to the country to work in the train railroads. So all of these influences have developed the extremely varied culture of Costa Rica.
Maybe the only truly Costarrican musical achievements are the rhythm known as tambito and the guanacastecan "punto", in fact, most music and the most representative folklore comes from the north of the country (the same portion of the territory which once had heavy mayan influence in it) and the Atlantic coast (the afro-caribbean culture). One of the most distinctive musical genres is the punto, such as the "Punto guanacasteco", from Guanacaste, and the "Punto sancarleño", from San Carlos, Alajuela.
