Resumen:

Aixan /gâna/ōb ǂans tsî //khasigu ancestral music is performed by the Nama and Damara communities, who mainly reside in Hardap, Karas, Erongo, Kunene and Otjozondjupa, situated in the northern and southern regions of Namibia.

The Namibia National Commission for UNESCO is responsible for preparing the nomination file in close collaboration with the Directorate of Heritage and Culture Programmes within the Ministry of Education, Arts and Culture.
