On his Twitter account, the head of Cuban diplomacy wrote that the incorporation of Cuba in the list is a recognition of ‘our culture, history, and tradition of eight generations of masters who have made creation a living heritage.’

On Tuesday, the Cuban Light Rum Masters’ Knowledge that is transmitted orally from one generation to the other was included in the list of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

In a recent interview with Prensa Latina, members of that movement affirmed that the tradition and accumulated knowledge allow the elaboration of a unique product, labeled as the liquid flavor of the Cuban culture.

Over the past 160 years, exquisite blends have evolved again and again into refined products that arouse interest around the world, fruits of the work of eight generations of specialists, they added.
