Royal Drummers and Dancers of Burundi

The Royal Drummers and Dancers of Burundi have passed down their sacred traditions for centuries, yet their distinctive rhythms sound as modern as any contemporary beat. As much a spectacle of dance as music, the breathtakingly athletic drummers bring magnificent grace to their leaps, twists and spins, dancing with as much skill, expressiveness, and thunderous excitement as they drum. Channeling the creative spirit of a nation, the energy of these African drum masters inspires musicians and audiences alike.
