Blacks, or Africans, make up 52 percent of Sudanese, and are most numerous in southern and western Sudan. The country is further divided with hundreds of Arab and non-Arab ethnicities, tribes, and languages.
The influence of many different cultures is reflected in the traditions, cuisine, music and dance in the region. Like most parts of the world, dance is often used for celebrations and performed for special occassions.
