@@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".
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.
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.
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!
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!
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!
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.
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!
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.
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.
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 =)
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
@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.
@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.
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.
@gamewizard It's part of their culture. The same way that we all sit and watch TV or play music. Then we work. Music is part of people's culture. They won't die out because they stopped playing the drums. If you're gonna hate then blog about it instead. Either way music to these people brings them happiness and joy. If you want to take that away from them then you are a lesser man/woman. Thanks :)

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
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.

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

I think humans will always dance to the sound of drums as long as we still have a heart beating inside us.

Yes but there is learning/training involved there too.
I could play this all day. Proud of my African (American) heritage.
😁
That must have sounded so powerful in person. :)
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!
Wonderful to watch! Love seeing people celebrating life.
The rich cultural heritage of Africa 🇬🇭🇺🇸
I regret that I can only hit the LIKE button one time. This deserves far more!
These pipo are freakn talented...they make feel proud of beeing Burundian!!! Love them

The best rendition of Ingoma z'Uburundi I have so far witnessed. Much Pride 🇧🇮🇧🇮🇧🇮!!!

I saw them live twice in London .They were awesome
Money does not buy the spirit and voice of drums like these.
I saw them perform in the 90s. One of the best performances I have ever seen, I have been to a ridiculous number of concerts.
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!
Beautiful... love how they dance and how high they jump... everything is great on this one :D
love love love it.. can we have more of this loveliness to fix the minds of the hoods...

adam and the ants made an excellent choice when they used this amazing burundi drumming in 1980.
this is just badass!!!!! Thanks for uploading.

Without their influence Adam Ant would never be known of.
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
Ik heb dit jaar Gitega, en ook de tambourinairs van Gishora hier, bezocht. Echt super!!
Thanks for posting ; I appreciate.

Some of the weirdest and most bizarre music I've ever heard came from Burundi - amazing sounds!
Remind me home
