Hispanic Heritage Month is here and it has us thinking about all the Latino traditions passed down generation after generation. After all, Hispanics make up over 17% of the U.S. population. That’s over 54 million people!
It’s these traditions and shared cultures that have influenced and branded the society we live in today. That’s why, each year, we celebrate this heritage in the U.S., and continue to support family back home through Pangea Money Transfer.
Which of the traditions below remind you most of your family here in the U.S., and back home in Latin America?
9 Latino Traditions That Remind Us of Home
1. Dancing bachata, salsa or cumbia and listening to reggaeton or mariachi .
2. Celebrating quinceañeras in a two day celebration (if not more) .
3. Congratulating birthday boys and girls with a little face to the cake .
4. Making carne asadas with family and friends on the weekends .
5. Calling all of our loved ones “Mija” or “Mijo”.
6. Kisses on the cheek…with everyone, everywhere we go .
7. Creating home remedies for almost every sickness .
8. Watching Telenovelas like El Cartel De Los Sapos or El Chavo del Ocho .
