On Thursday, Venezuelan Culture Minister Ernesto Villegas formally asked the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) to include the Joropo traditional musical and dancing genre in its list of intangible cultural heritages of humanity.
Usually danced in espadrilles, the Joropo represents Venezuelan identity since it reflects the influence of Africa, Europe, and Indigenous peoples on this country’s culture.
The application submitted by Villegas recognizes different versions of Joropo, including the Joropo Jarillero, which people from the El Jarillo region in Miranda state created, and the Joropo Guayanes, which is typical of the Bolivar state.

The Foreign Minister of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Yván Gil, participated in the XXVIII Ibero-American Summit on behalf of the national government and in his speech questioned the application of coercive measures as a method of political conditioning to countries.
“We must abandon the neocolonial practices that the United States and the European Union are currently applying against three members present at this summit Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela,” said the Venezuelan diplomat.
In this sense, he highlighted that in a short period Venezuela has received more than 900 coercive measures and has lost more than 7000 billion dollars, which have been stolen from assets abroad.
Gil reflected that “we cannot talk about a fair and sustainable Ibero-America without respect for the sovereignty and independence” of the countries and denounced that the sanctions “harm us all, violate human rights, impede development and subject the people to hunger”.
