Burundi drummers


By Daniella Makuraza
Ingoma is made from forest trees especially "imivugangoma." It is a symbol of the Kingdom in Burundi and used to be played for the King. Now it is played in big occasions such as weddings, proms, and other occasions considered important, depending on the individual. It has a dual meaning, that is drum and kingdom. It is usually played by a group of men who are trained to play them and learn to play them together as if they were one
When they start to play, everyone is focused on them because of its beat. It's that beat that you feel from your heart.
