When I went to visit my family in 2018, I got a good deal on some souvenirs from a small shop along the road not far from Gitega central prison. I bought a drum 47 centimeter high and 21 centimeter across. It took quite some space in my suitcase. I am so proud of it, one day I almost took it to the office of my dentist to show to people one of the characteristics of Burundian culture.
@@stansiyomana1239 They bought the drums from the same shop you bought yours. I know that small shop, I'm from GITEGA, and lived there long enough. I was there in September 2023 .
@@WelldoneBujatweets Thank you for the update, I thought that the small shop has been destroyed due to the new constructions in the new capital. In 2006, I had bought some traditional art stuff from a shop ran by Catholic nuns on some big street (I still remember there were some christian crosses...). Last time I laughed when I saw the picture of somebody who build a house in a swamp/next to a rice paddy in Gitega.
FUN FACT 😂: Shishira means decorating a any package you want to send as a gift. In other words you put Inshishiro (noun from Gushishira verb, which means gift wrap) to anything you want to gift someone, usually beer in a container or other goods packaged in a beautiful basket 🧺. Avery Burundian automatically loves the name Shishira although there isn't anyone called Shishira in Burundi 😊❤❤ I wonder what the name means in your language??
@alida. Me too, I couldn't understand what they were doing there. Even if they needed something, they would have people around them who can do the shopping for them.
@bruno. I have never been a big beer drinker. But when I lived in Tanzania as a Burundian refugee and worked in Kyerwa District in northwestern Tanzania in 1978/1979, I think it was possible to get some Primus (smuggled from Burundi or Rwanda?). In 2006, when I was able to go to Burundi to see my family, I almost asked them to come to the airport to meet me with a bottle of Primus. But when I got to my brother's house, there were bottles of Primus. But now the taste of Primus is no longer a big deal to me (the way it was when I was in secondary school and couldn't afford it). The last time I visited Burundi in 2018, I don't think that I took any Primus, I preferred to drink some (non-alcoholic?) Royale beer.
thanks for visiting my lovely country Burundi.
Our pleasure! 😊
Thanks for visiting Burundi,you are most welcomed again
Thank you very much 😀

Its a beautiful drum - haven't quite seen anything so nice in many countries!
I got a glimpse of Gitega. Those drums are UNESCO heritage so it is a great choice as souvenir. Felt like I was travelling with you.
Its a beautiful city the drums ceremony was amazing!

Murakoze! We enjoyed meeting Burundians!

@welldone. Thank you for mentioning it. I made a simular comment on their first video in Burundi.
Hehe this is a great explanation! Shishira in ancient Sanskrit refers to the cold season 🤓
I'm number one give me my like if you love Burundi
😅😅
😂😂😂 English problem
hahaha😂😂😂 what the mariage doing in the super marketing???

They were filming a wedding video!
Strange souvenir choice for long duration travellers, but cool. I've purchased a drum before, but I'm only out for 11 days.
We couldn't resist!
The 1st supermarket you've seen was in Gitega??? In which neighbourhood were you guys staying in Bujumbura??? you only stayed in Bwiza??
Yes! We stayed in Bwiza with a friend and missed seeing the other areas which probably had much bigger supermarkets 😃
Which camera do you use in your Vlogs?
Mainly, a Sony ZV1 and DJI A3... and an iphone mini
@@TheBackpacksters ohhh nice thanks
Hhhh 😂in Burundi culture women don't drum ,they just dance drums melody because drums are synonyms of women ,make research for more details
We learnt it in the next vlog where we attended the drums ceremony! 😅
Hello again why don't you try to drink on primus😅
