BALI, Indonesia ? Poetic dueling from Cyprus, Chinese shadow puppetry and Mexican mariachi music are among the vanishing cultural traditions identified by the United Nations as in need of protection.
UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage list also has added French-style horseback riding, the doleful Fado songs of Portugal and Turkey's keskek meat dish .
Envoys wrapped up a weeklong meeting on Indonesia's resort island of Bali on Tuesday. They added 19 oral traditions, art forms, and practices handed down from generation to generation to the 200-strong list.
Some traditions were identified as in need of "urgent" safeguarding.
They include China's Hezhen Yimakan storytelling, traditional building of Iranian Lenj boats and Indonesia's chest-slapping Saman dance.
