"Thirteen Notable Traditions Found On UNESCO's List Of Intangible Cultural Heritage, In Order."

"7. The hopping procession of Echternach.../4. Kırkpınar oil wrestling festival/3. The scissors dance/2. Whistled language of the island of La Gomera..."

Via Adam at ALOTT5MA, who says "in truth the whole list is pretty neat" and:
The United States doesn't participate in the process of adding "intangible heritage practices and expressions" to the list, but it's not hard to think about what we might suggest — the blues and square dancing, perhaps?
Oh, let's not re-embed ourselves in American things so quickly. Check out that whole list and click through to some videos. I'm experiencing temporary immersion in the Pansori Epic Chant... just a happy consequence of a random click.
