12 Dec 23 - 03:22 AM (#4193419) Subject: folk music of Rwanda From: GUEST,RJM Traditional music Also famous were the Amasimbi n'amakombe and Irindiro dance troupes. The ikinimba is perhaps the most revered musical tradition in Rwanda. It is a dance that tells the stories of Rwandan heroes and kings, accompanied by instruments like ngoma, ikembe, iningiri, umuduri and inanga. Any examples on you tube of their different musics? |

It sounds very interesting but my schoolboy French is insuffient for the task. The recordings are almost 20 years old and I do wonder how Topic got involved - hopefully more info to come. |

13 Dec 23 - 02:32 PM (#4193509) Subject: RE: folk music of Rwanda From: Joe Offer I have a Rwandan friend here in California. He's a Catholic priest, and he came here after spending five years in prison. He's a wonderful person, and a good singer. Good drummer, too. Because of him, I have a soft spot in my heart for Rwanda and Rwandan music. |
