    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Tango was declared part of the world's cultural
    heritage by the United Nations on Wednesday and granted the
    international seal of approval Argentina and Uruguay have long sought
    for the dramatic dance and its sensual moves.

    The 24 members of UNESCO's Intergovernmental Committee of Intangible
    Heritage granted the tango dance and its music protected cultural
    status at its meeting in Abu Dhabi.

    "We are very proud," Hernan Lombardi, the minister of culture of
    the autonomous city of Buenos Aires told the Associated Press on the
    phone from the Emirates' capital. "We hope this decision will help
    spread the tradition of tango all over the world."

    Tango emerged as a dance style in the late 1800s in the suburbs of
    Buenos Aires and Montevideo, Uruguay. It is popular in Europe, Japan
    and the United States.
