The Culture of East Timor reflects numerous cultural influences, including Portuguese, Roman Catholic and Malay, on the indigenous Austronesian cultures in East Timor.
Literature
Easily the most famous East Timorese author is Xanana Gusmão, the leader of the Timorese resistance organization Fretilin, and now the Prime Minister of independent East Timor. He wrote two books during the struggle for independence. Also a poet and painter, he produced works describing the culture, values, and skills of the Timorese people.
Other important writers of Timor are: Luís Cardoso, Fernando Sylvan, Ponte Pedrinha, Jorge Barros Duarte, Crisódio Araujo, Jorge Lauten, Francisco Borja da Costa, Afonso Busa Metan and Fitun Fuik.
Religion
East Timor has been nominally
 Catholic since early in the Portuguese  colonial period. The Catholic faith became a central part of East  Timorese culture during the 
Indonesian  occupation between 1975 and 1999 . While under Portuguese rule, the  East Timorese had mostly been 
animist, sometimes integrated with minimal  Catholic ritual, the number of Catholics dramatically increased under  Indonesian rule. This was for several reasons: Indonesia was  predominantly 
Muslim; the Indonesian state required adherence to  one of five officially recognised religions and did not recognise  traditional beliefs; and because the Catholic Church, which remained  directly responsible to the 
Vatican  throughout Indonesian rule, became a refuge for East Timorese seeking  sanctuary from persecution.
 Music
East  Timor's music reflects its history under the control of both 
Portugal  and 
Indonesia,  who have imported music like 
gamelan  and 
fado.  The most widespread form of native folk music was the 
likurai dance,  performed to by women to welcome home men after war. They used a small  drum and sometimes carried enemy heads in processions through villages; a  modern version of the dance is used by women in 
courtship.
In the modern era, East Timorese music has been closely associated  with the independence movement; for example, the band 
Dili  Allstars released a song that became an anthem in the build-up to  the 
referendum  on independence in 2000, while the 
United Nations commissioned a song called "Hakotu Ba" (by 
Lahane) to  encourage people to register to vote in the referendum.
The 
guitar  has long been an important part of East Timorese music, though it is an  import brought by colonizers; there are however native kinds of 
string instruments similar in some ways to the guitar.  Foreign influences also include popular styles of music like 
rock  and roll, 
hip hop and 
reggae [2].
Lyrics of the songs can be sung in 
Tetum or 
Portuguese, official languages of East  Timor.
