UNESCO proclaimed Samba de Roda of the Recôncavo of Bahia a Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity. The international recognition presented an Afro-Brazilian community practice as a contribution to world culture, challenging older hierarchies that treated African-derived expression as marginal. The proclamation also brought new attention and tourism pressures. UNESCO’s 2005 proclamation and the later inscription on its Representative List in 2008 are separate milestones; recognition alone could not resolve unequal funding or guarantee that practitioners controlled how the tradition was represented.
