Some songs are intangible cultural heritage.

Songs, as a traditional cultural expression, can be considered part of intangible cultural heritage. Intangible cultural heritage refers to cultural expressions that have been transmitted, including oral traditions, performing arts, social practices, knowledge and skills.
