UNESCO declares that folklore is synonymous of popular culture and represents the social identity of a community through its cultural, collective or individual creations, and is also an essential part of the culture of each nation.

Part of the cultural work of UNESCO is to guide the communities in the good direction to manage its inheritance folclrica, knowing that the progress and the changes that it provokes can in such a way enrich a culture as to destroy it forever.
