Abstract
In this article, the author analyzes the intangible cultural heritage legislation that has been developed in a regional context; that is why, they are subject to laws of bordering states. For these purposes, she studies on Argentine laws and she identifies regulatory gaps, mistakes and she examines the sufficiency or not of the means of protection against misuse and practices that may violate their authenticity. Secondly, she reviews the Uruguayan legislation on cultural heritage and the main state actions for its preservation. Finally, she analyzes the cases of “Tango” (that involves Uruguayan and Argentine culture) and “Payada” (that has origined from Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay and southern Brazil), and she researchs potential legal conflicts and peaceful ways to solve them.
