After 8 long years fighting the German occupation, King Mwezi Gisabo was ambushed then he ran into Mr Bihome's held of Cows, Bihome asked the King if he could allow him to swap with him clothes so he can mislead the Germans and their Men, the King's gave Bihome his clothes and Bihome runs off to be chased after and eventually killed. The Germans were shocked to hear Drums being played on other side of hills as symbol of the King's throan, he then took refuge to Gishora where he was hiding over 5 months before he signed the treaty of Kiganda to end war with the Germans. He thanked the family that hiden him and gave them 2 Cows named Ruciteme and Murimirwa"a biggest symbol" of highest honor. The family decided to slotter the cow nd use hides to make 2 Drums of the same names as the Cows that were slotted in memory of the king stay"Ikigabiro" Ruciteme and Murimirwa are 2 of 8 sacred Drums of Burundi monarch. They were played only on ceremonies "Karyenda"is the leading was played by the King once a year. Karyenda had a wife called Mukakaryenda" Mrs Karyenda "was a Virgin woman who's role was to keep polishing Karyenda with butter to stay shiny. Today the leading has vanished disappeared.. Many conspiracies around Karyenda. It s now represented by the leading drum in center bearing the Burundi flag as Symbol of the Nation like was Karyenda.

Where is the place in Burundi? I am Burundian leaving a broad but never have a chance to visit that beautiful place. By the grace of god I will visit that wonderful place this year.🙏

Start looking in the French museums and ... For the stolen drum🤦🏿 I did not know drums could have a "spirit" ... That must have been a magical drum after all that they did to it

[@missqt48]

Thank you for the insight! Yes African drums are spiritual ..well the way the drummers beat the drum can connect the physical and the spiritual. Where I come from.. you have to be appointed as a drummer! You can just decide I want to be a drummer, they (elders) have to choose you!

I am a Burundian/Rwandan living/studying in the US and my experience with African Americans has been so alarming in terms of realizing how much disconnect is there due to slavery and colonialism. Sometimes we tend to feel like there wont be any change soon but damn.... not gonna lie ...kudos unapologetic nomads...i been checking y all and i can only describe what y all doin as REVOLUTIONARY...

Same here, I'm glad they are realizing the potential they have, especially with the buy black movement. Im proud of them honestly. They came a long way and had to endure so much but they are climbing the American ladder 👌

[@chelletoohipp]

Ehhhhh we are way more connected than you know. Please don’t assume. The only country that has not been colonized in Africa is Ethiopia and that’s a barely. The disconnect isn’t as grave as though ppl make it.

[@tinyspaceroadie]

Some of my people will be offended, but this is a very true statement. Ignorance is here, just like anywhere else in the world. But, i believe education, lack of exposure, hopeleness, and the way you were raised have a lot to do with it. Years ago, I visited some of my husbands family and childhood friends in Mississippi, and we were appalled to hear some of the misinformation, limited, and lack of knowledge regarding Africa, slave history, and Black American icons in history. However, his family in Harlem NY are extremely informed, well traveled, and connected.

[@yalex1609]

Shout out to the unapologetic nomads for sharing these unforgettable moments with us, I could feel the vibration of the drums trough my heart. It was highly appreciated family. Another fun fact about Burundian people is that under King Mwezi in 1886, my people achieved to defeat the slave trader " Rumaliza" therefore none of our brothers were sold to be slave. Keep it up the good work family
