What did Asians bring to Trinidad?

The East Indian community introduced and popularised the sitar and tabla drums, which are commonly used in Indian music, and a variety of folk dances reflecting their unique culture. In addition to these contributions, the Chinese community introduced the art of traditional Chinese medicine and the martial art form of kung fu. Both communities also brought various culinary practices, enriching Trinidad's culinary landscape with Indian spices, Chinese noodles and other dishes, creating a fusion cuisine that is celebrated to this day.
