Abstract

The border French-Brazilian area by along Oyapock’s river was the stage of a long content litigious amid both countries until December 1900. This article studies followings inside and foreign migrations, someone natural and another ones induced by the States, and the cultural changes established by different people (Indians, Creoles and Caboclos, the Brazilians colored people) living in. Beyond these ancients inhabitants, we had other two movements of migration. By the north, people coming from Caribbean islands, the most from Martinique, and by the south people coming from the Brazilian’s states of Pará and Ceará, have been meeting on Oyapock, definitively configuring a complex cultural mixing pot. The rich musical changing, the food and the mixing behaviors of this different people, have been creating nowadays a peculiar and suggestive culture: we really could named it as Caribbean-Amazon culture.
