Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, which consolidated the 90 elements
declared Masterpieces of the Oral and intangible assets in 2001, 2003 and
2005. In this new framework, Mexico repeats his candidacy in the Declaration
of Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity in 2010,
