Music of Burundi

Music of East Africa
Burundi Kenya Rwanda South Sudan Tanzania Uganda

Burundi is a Central African nation that is closely linked with Rwanda, geographically, historically and culturally. Internationally, the country has produced the music group Master Drummers of Burundi, the former royal percussionists.

Burundian-Belgian musicians like Éric Baranyanka from the Burundese royal family, Ciza Muhirwa and, especially, Khadja Nin, have more recently gained prominence. Since the music is from the mind and soul, it mainly expresses what the people in Burundi feel and what they think when they beat the drums.

One feature of Burundian men's folk songs is the inanga accompaniment [1].
