Intangible UNESCO heritage in our countries

Intangible UNESCO heritage in our countries

 Portugal - Craftmanship of Estremoz clay figures :

The Estremoz’s clay figures are made of ceramics and are patterned following typologies of work secularly repeated and iniciated in Estremoz since, at least, from the XVII century.

In December of 2017, Estremoz’s clay figures were classified World Heritage by UNESCO.

Spain -  Human towers [castells]:

Castells are a human tower built traditionally in festivals at many locations within Catalonia. At these festivals, several colles castelleres (groups who construct towers) often succeed in building and dismantling a tower's structure.

On November 16, 2010, castells were declared by UNESCO to be amongst the Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity

Germany - Organ craftsmanship and music

The pipe organ is a musical instrument that produces sound by driving pressurized air (called wind) through organ pipes selected via a keyboard. Because each pipe produces a single pitch, the pipes are provided in sets called ranks, each of which has a common timbre and volume throughout the keyboard compass. Most organs have multiple ranks of pipes of differing timbre, pitch, and volume that the player can employ singly or in combination through the use of controls called stops.

Lithuania - Sutartinės, Lithuanian multipart songs.

“Sutartines” - polyvalent Lithuanian folk songs: They are also called ‘safe’, because their performance is strong and rough, but this term is forgotten. Black races. 2010 November 16th UNESCO has officially incorporated the Lithuanian Treaty into a list of UNESCO's representative intangible cultural heritage of humanity.
