VOICED : Venezuela celebra que popular fiesta sincrética sea patrimonio de la Unesco

The San Juan Bautista celebrations in Venezuela, held for over 300 years, have been recognized as intangible cultural heritage by Unesco. This decision, confirmed after a lengthy process, was met with joy by the local community. The celebrations are a syncretic blend of Catholic and African traditions, with key events on June 23 and 24 featuring drums and dances. This marks the eighth cultural manifestation from Venezuela to be registered by Unesco.
