expanded cable TV network. There are 742 radio and 365 TV receivers per 1,000

Culture
Little Saint Lucia has produced two Nobel
laureates. In 1970, economist Arthur Lewis received the
Nobel Prize in Economics. 1992 was the time again when
author Derek Walcott was awarded the Literature Prize.
Popular cultural life is dominated by a number of
festivals spread throughout the year. The festivals
reflect the traditions of both Africa and Western
Europe. The most common folk dances, including Belair
and Konte, originate from the slave era.
