Rumba Catalana, in 60 years, has become a major musical genre

  • For 60 years it has gone through all fashions, all eras, renewing itself without ever losing its soul.
  • Few contemporary genres only need a single instrument to fully express themselves.
  • Bearing a strong identity, it lends itself happily to the mixing of musical genres, while remaining immediately recognizable.
  • This is music that unites an audience around the world, of all ages and nationalities. A beautiful proof of universality.

Support the candidacy of rumba catalana for UNESCO - Intangible heritage

An initiative has been launched by Catalan Gypsy musicians, to put the rumba Catalana on the list of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Unesco.

And they are asking for your support, with an online petition.

Here’s the link – you might want to use Google Translate, as the website is only available in Catalan, Spanish and French, for the moment.
