WELCOME TO CBC

We have different cultural activities and all members are welcome and encouraged to participate.
Those activities include drums and traditional dances and  each of the groups meet twice a month on Saturdays in order to perform and teach the younger generation.

Drums

Brief history of Burundi Drums.
Since ancient times, drums have been considered sacred in Burundi . Traditionally, the word ingoma meant both drums and kingdom.
Drumming ensured the prosperity of the kingdom and they are considered the most important representatives of the country's musical tradition.
Burundian drummers channel history and ritual into the exuberant and enthusiastic performances that have earned them the title of one of the greatest percussion in the world today.

Dances
The imvyino dance songs are categorised depending on the circumstances of their performance.
