Panamanian people or Panamanians are the inhabitants or citizens of Panama. Panama is a multi-ethnic nation, home to people of different ethnic and national origins.
The culture held in common by most Panamanians is referred to as mainstream Panamanian culture, a culture largely derived from the traditions of the Indigenous people and the early Spanish settlers, along with other Europeans arriving later such as Italians with west African culture as another important component.
The culture of Panama derived from the cultures of Indigenous peoples of Panama, art and traditions, as well as African Culture that were brought over by the Spanish to Panama.
