One of the
greatest percussion ensembles in the world, The Royal Drummers and Dancers
of Burundi have performed in the same way for centuries, passing down
traditions and techniques from father to son. Their performances
were traditionally a part of particular ceremonies, such as births,
funerals and the enthronement of Kings. In Burundi, drums are sacred
and represent the powers of fertility and regeneration. The origins
of their performance being shrouded in ancient legend and mystery, the
Royal Drummers and Dancers of Burundi channel the energy and creative
spirit of a nation through these drums and the rituals surrounding them. |
