This is a historical and cultural site situated in the province of Gitega at 7km from the political capital of the country. The site of Gishora also houses two ritual drums that were never beaten: Ruciteme (the one for whom we clear the forest) and Murimirwa (the one for whom we cultivate). The two names are intimately linked to the farming vocation and refer clearly to the fertility, characteristic of the king. We have also ordinary drums ‘Ingendanyi’ (retinue), which the Batimbo could beat on special occasions of the country. One just needs to call and book a drum performance and it will make the visit unforgettable. In 2014, the Burundi drum was put on the list of the UNESCO’s World Heritage. ...Réduire
