The Ritual dance of the royal drum is a drumming tradition from Burundi that combines synchronised drumming with dancing and traditional songs.[1][2] In 2014, it was added to the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO. [3]
The dance usually has about a dozen drums, in a semicircle around a central drum. A few of the drummers also dance to the rhythm.[1] In ancient Burundi, drums were sacred objects, reserved only for people performing rituals. The major events of the country were marked by their beating, like coronations and royal funerals.[4]
In 2017, a Presidential decree said that only male performers were to be allowed to play the drums in the future.[5]
