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. The thunderous sound of the drums with the graceful and athletic dance that accompanies their performance represents an important part of Africa’s rich musical heritage. Through use of their drums and the ancient rituals that surround them, the Royal Drummers and Dancers of Burundi channel the primal energy and creative spirit of African tradition into the ultimate rhythmic experience.
