UN declares tango part of world cultural heritage
The United Nations has declared the sultry tango dance steps of Argentina and Uruguay part of the world's "intangible cultural heritage", UNESCO diplomats told AFP on Wednesday.
The United Nations cultural organisation is holding a meeting of 400 experts in the Gulf state of Abu Dhabi to agree on list of world arts and traditions that should be safeguarded for humanity.
Tango is a tradition of music and dance, developed in working-class dance halls in the Latin American cities of Buenos Aires and Montevideo and now known all over the world as a symbol of sensuous romance.
