Did you know that…?
The Maltese Islands, on the other hand, have had a long and very interesting history, with a strategic location, at the crossroads of the Mediterranean and a population with a mixture of cultures. The islands have indeed been ruled by the Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, Normans and the Order of St. John, among others, and have become a British colony in the 19th century, until finally gaining independence in 1964.
The Maltese culture has been greatly influenced by all these peoples and their traditions, and is unique and very rich. The Maltese folk dances are a part of the traditional culture of Malta. They are mostly danced during religious and cultural festivals.
The most popular Maltese folk dances are the ‘Ħal-Lija’, ‘Ħal-Għanja’, ‘Ħal-Tfal’, ‘Ħal-Qormi’, ‘Ħal-Safi’, ‘Ħal-Tarxien’ and ‘Ħal-Xgħajra’.
