UNESCO has recognized various genres and musical styles as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. These genres deeply express the beliefs and traditions of various world civilizations.
It is music the instrument that cultures have been using to transmit their traditions for many years.
"Cultural heritage is not limited to monuments and collections of objects, but also includes traditions or living expressions inherited from our ancestors and transmitted to our descendants."
(UNESCO, 2014, Website: https://www.colombiadigital.net/opinion/columnistas/cultura-mas/item/4145-rescate-de-la-musica-tradicional-tecnologia-y-patrimonio-inmaterial.html)
A highly recognized genre is mariachi. This genre is divided and transformed as time goes by, preserving its cultural touch. Instruments and costumes have transcended through the decades, therefore it is a clear example that music is a cultural expression that defines each culture. it is the traditional music that makes it easier to understand and learn about that culture.
