We have the entrance "murisho" rhythm with the drums on the head; we have the warming up, we have the proper"murisho" then the finish. Absolutely brilliant!
Their drumming style was a major influence on 1980's pop/rock banks such as Adam and the Ants and Bow Wow Wow. Click on Adam and the Ants songs listen to Ant Rap, Antmusic, Goody Two Shoes, and many of the other songs by Adam and the Ants - you can hear the influence of Burundi drumming. Fantastic sound
grailmaiden I know it's been 6 years since you commented that but I just came from Kings of the Wild Frontier and seeing your comment painted a huge smile on my face for some reason.
@@madamcoulibaly4779 they are praising the tree from which those drums are made and the ancestors that started playing drums in Burundi. "The heartbeat/beat of these drums is the legacy of our ancestors".
That is the music humans played at the dawn of our civilization and those guys still celebrate it a hundred thousand years after that. The drum was our first instrument and nobody that calls themselves a human being can deny it's influence. The sound of drums calls up racial memory from way back. I love it!
@passenger113 I couldn't agree more. have been in England for 12 years now and learnt a lot about western Europe tantalizing those poor "burundians or africans of any nation to their inermost precious heritage to get the long european summer days or cheap holidays go by; It becomes a parody, a coca cola; a pack of dire crisps etc...As a a burundian it saddens me because this music was once only played a the royal court or at the "muganuro" ( A festival celebrating fertility) and were sacred.
Africans are the best!.. they didn't need to learn music notes, composition, or go to a presitigious New York school of music.. its called Talent and Culture!.. Jah Bless Africa!
the drum is sacred in Burundi; the drum's features is refreed to as that of the human body i.e tummy,etc... The dynastic royal drum that followed the king everywhere was called karyenda and had a wife Mukakaryenda symbolically
This is fantastic. The sounds, the timing, the coordination, the dancing, the sheer joy of life they exude. It's very uplifting. It has to be way better being there watching it and feeling the power of the drums go through you. I had that experience in Japan watching a group of taiko drummers. This is so similar. I hope I get a chance to experience drumming like this again.
Vumera wa Muvugangoma: Sing Muvugangoma tree. Umuvugangoma was the only tree where drums were made from which actually means: the tree that speaks of drums. In ancient times in Burundi the drums were played only at the crowing of the king or that the annual ceremony of the umuganuro which celebrated the end of the year, the harvest of sorghum and the begining of the farming season.
what can i say... this is just amazing, drummers from africa got absolutely rhythm in their heartsand souls ! wish i could see this show alive someday =)
Aren't they just amazing! This is one of the most exciting musical forms on the continent, in my opion. I worked with a similar group last month, in Buja and Cankuzo (see video response). Thanks for this!
Wohaa ... this is amazing!! When you hear this, this is the heart beat of our mother earth! And these people have the feeling to bring this beat through the sticks into the drums / musik :o) TNX for uploading this vid.

@Cauleen I understand perfectly. Great drumming that looks like a reenactment. england is full of such things in the summer [reenactments] you can visit one- time work places that are now museums. Culture, whatever that is, is bottled and sold on as a major industry and serious revenue stream. It also dresses up and or covers up the other 'cultures' of a country. There is more to burundi than this I am sure. It is all in the packaging. no matter what country.
Hermoso, con mucha sincronía y sensibilidad, podrían ofrecer espectáculos y cobrar por ello, veo mucho potencual en ka gente de Burundi, solo necesitan un apakancamiento económico para que ellos pordan salir adelante. Tabasco, México.
This is a real drum circle....wow. I want to play in that...coming to NYC any time soon guys? I can't keep up with the dancing, but I'll try! Just a thought, do you guys do a march band? You'll kick ass in a drum line.
Holy fuck! This was awesome! Thanks for sharing this. I play dununs in a Congolese drum group and also Japanese taiko. I was reminded of both styles of playing watching this. Drums are so universal. Peace and heartfelt love to the people of Burundi.
White people conceived pianos, guitars, Frooty Loops and Pro Tools. But for real, tangible feel of music you just need couple of drums and people full of energy. Those African People seem to be having time of their lifes:)
Remember this track and then some keyboard idiot playing over it back in the 70's .. I love the Natural Nothingness oV Drums ... So Happy to Listen before my deafness comes .. Very Powerful.. Must of beeen the Dream when the Sitting Bull woke up .. on that Fateful Morning he knew it Was A Good Day too DIE. & would of Loved to of met Him PEACE & LOVE .. TOO ALL we have to become connected .History is Shit .. AND IT IS UP TO US too FUCKING SORT OUT the wheat from the Chaff .... I Heart the Souix coz they would of looked after me ......... The Black HiLLS ... Verry Saddened by the Whole Sale KILLING in some ov some Kinda PEACE..... Guess Nobody cares about mOTHER eARTH nO mORE....................
Due to the coronavirus, I'm in lockdown. I'm at high risk, due to my age. Discovering videos like this gives me joy, and hope.
Same. Also in Lockdown.
I am day 6 into infection. It’s miserable. But this is bringing the life back in me.
Proud to be Burundian. May God bless Burundi and it's people
These drums have an enchanting and beautiful sound.

damn second comment here, i'm here cause of adam as well, love his music and wanted to incorporate this sound into my own music
this is the kinda moment i really am proud to be Burundian.....ingoma z'iwacu💜🙌
What are they singing about???
@@madamcoulibaly4779 they are praising the tree from which those drums are made and the ancestors that started playing drums in Burundi. "The heartbeat/beat of these drums is the legacy of our ancestors".
This style of drumming is important.
@@dingwes thank you for the explanation, that’s a great sentiment…
I could play this all day. Proud of my African (American) heritage.
😁

The drum was our first instrument and nobody that calls themselves a human being can deny it's influence. The sound of drums calls up racial memory from way back. I love it!
I think humans will always dance to the sound of drums as long as we still have a heart beating inside us.
Money does not buy the spirit and voice of drums like these.

Yes but there is learning/training involved there too.

i can only spot smiles!

White people ain't conceived shit
Thanks Spareld :(
deep fores
If you look at other traditional African instruments you'll see where even pianos, violins, guitars etc originated from.
You're shit. Open your eyes asshole.
Wonder what would happen if all of them were given snare drums?
