French President Emmanuel Macron has said he wants French house music to be added to UNESCO’s intangible heritage list.
This is the UN body’s list of ‘cultural practices and expressions of heritage’ which compiles assets that add to the wonderful diversity of human culture. Other musical forms to be included on the UNESCO list include Jamaican reggae and Irish harp music. A more recent addition was German techno, which it seems has prompted Macron’s intervention.
