In 2019, Seychelles attempted to register Moutya as an intangible cultural heritage site, but the application was deemed incomplete. Registration finally takes place in 2021. David André, Seychelles' Secretary General for Culture, describes the registration as an achievement, which he believes will enable the cultural element to be passed on to future generations. According to the official UNESCO description, the moutya expresses cultural identity and preserves traditional elements. It is transmitted through imitation, documentation and research.
