Great news... marvellous news .... red-hot breaking news...

According to the Snail, the CY cultural art-form that is sooooo well loved and much practised in CY has received the highest honour possible...

Here's the first para from the CY Mail...

CYPRUS’ improvised songs known as tsiattista have been placed on UNESCO’s list of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
They have been registered as “tsiattista poetic duelling”, following a decision taken at the the Intergovernmental Committee for the Safeguarding of Intangible Heritage held in Bali, Indonesia from November 22 to 29.
