Global recognition! Flamenco: A World Cultural Heritage

Global recognition of flamenco¨Flamenco: A World Cultural Heritage Treasure

Andalusia is celebrating perhaps one of the most significant developments in its recent history. Flamenco, the best dance that mankind has ever created, has been declared as a world cultural heritage treasure by Unesco. Flamenco is now part of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity after the decision taken on Tuesday 16 November 2010 by UNESCO.

Five years after UNESCO rejecting the original request, the United Nations´ organization responsible for Educational, Scientific and Cultural affairs has finally accepted it. During the annual meeting in Nairobi (Kenya), UNESCO decided that the Flamenco deserves to be part of the Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

We take great pride to inform you that Manuela Carrasco, the “goddess of flamenco” who has designed and exclusively wears the Flamencista flamenco shoes, was there to celebrate one of the most important milestones in the history of dance with other famous artists.

 What an exciting time for Flamenco and we are at the heart of it!
