How do you know that you are in Portugal? When the only thing on the eight o'clock evening TV news is economic and financial crises, football, analysts talking about everything and anything and Fado!

Application of Fado to the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity ...

“This intangible cultural heritage, transmitted from generation to generation, is constantly recreated by communities and groups in response to their environment, their interaction with nature and their history, and provides them with a sense of identity and continuity, thus promoting respect for cultural diversity and human creativity.” Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, UNESCO, 2003, (Article 2, line 1)
