Nestled in the heart of Africa, Burundi is a land of stunning landscapes, rich cultural heritage, and warm and friendly people. Burundi is a landlocked country located in East Africa, bordered by Rwanda, Tanzania, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. The official languages of Burundi are Kirundi and French, with Swahili also spoken widely.

From its vibrant traditional drumming and dancing to its delicious cuisine and world-renowned coffee and tea, Burundi is simply unique. In this video, we'll discover Burundi through its rich history, its beautiful beaches, cuisine, as well as its more recent political and social developments.

Burundi's history dates back to the Kingdom of Burundi, which existed from the 17th century until the country was colonised by Germany in the late 19th century. The country was then passed on to Belgium after World War I, and they introduced a system of indirect rule which favoured one ethnic group over the others. This led to political and social unrest, and in 1962, Burundi gained independence from Belgium.

The early years of independence were marked by ethnic tensions. In 1972, a military coup resulted in the deaths of thousands of civilians, and this sparked a series of reprisals and counter-coups, and the country descended into a cycle of violence that lasted for decades.

In 1993, Burundi held its first democratic elections, but they were marred by violence and a coup led by military officers. This led to a civil war that lasted for over a decade and claimed the lives of over 300,000 people. The war ended with the Arusha Accords in 2005, which established a power-sharing government. Today, Burundi is still struggling to overcome the legacy of ethnic conflict and political instability, however, there are signs of progress.

Ruanda-Urundi was a territory in East Africa that existed from 1924 until 1962. It was a Belgian colony that comprised present-day Burundi and Rwanda. The territory was created after World War I, when Germany was forced to surrender its colonial possessions in Africa. The League of Nations then granted the mandate to Belgium to administer the area.

Under Belgian rule, Ruanda-Urundi underwent significant changes, including the introduction of cash crop agriculture, the establishment of a centralised administration, and the imposition of a feudal-like system of governance. In 1962, both Burundi and Rwanda gained independence from Belgium and became separate countries. However, the legacy of Belgian colonialism had a profound impact on the region, leading to ongoing political and ethnic tensions.

Today, Burundi and Rwanda can still be considered as sister-countries as they both share very similar cultures, with almost the same language.

Bujumbura is the economic capital city of Burundi and is located on the northeastern shore of Lake Tanganyika. It is the largest city in the country and the main economic and cultural centre. The city was originally founded by German colonisers in the late 19th century and was named Usumbura.

Bujumbura has a rich cultural heritage, with a mix of colonial and traditional African architecture. The city has many landmarks, including the newly built Presidential Palace, , and the Musee Vivant, which is a popular museum that showcases the traditional culture and wildlife of Burundi.

Bujumbura is also known for its lively markets, where visitors can find a variety of goods including handicrafts, textiles, and fresh produce. The city's nightlife is also vibrant, with many bars, restaurants, and nightclubs offering a mix of African and Western music.

Despite its beauty and cultural richness, Bujumbura has faced challenges related to poverty, political instability, and violence. However, the city and its people continue to work towards a brighter future, and Bujumbura remains an important part of Burundi's identity and history.

The traditional drumming of Burundi is an important aspect of the country's cultural heritage. It is a form of communication, celebration, and entertainment that has been passed down through generations. The large drums are called INGOMA, and are made from hollowed-out tree trunks and covered with animal skins.

Drumming has been an important part of Burundian culture for centuries and was used to communicate important messages and signals, such as warnings of danger or announcements of important events. Today, it is still used in traditional ceremonies, such as weddings and funerals, as well as in contemporary music.

In 2014, the traditional drumming of Burundi was recognized by UNESCO as a Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity. This recognition highlights the importance of this cultural practice and its contribution to the world's cultural diversity.

IN THIS Video: INSIDE World's BEST ROYAL DRUMMERS (Burundi) 🇧🇮 | Burundi Travel

In This Video, I Got a chance to visit Tumaini Festival in Malawi 2021 in Dzaleka refugee camp which is hosted by local refugees in Dzaleka Malawi wherein I had interaction with most famous rpyal drummers of Burundi.

The Royal Drummers of Burundi, commonly known in recordings as The Drummers of Burundi, is a percussion ensemble originally from Burundi.

Dzaleka, Malawi's first refugee camp, is about 25 miles north of the capital Lilongwe. Built 25 years ago in response to a surge of people fleeing genocide and wars in Burundi, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Tumaini Festival was founded in 2014. It is an extraordinary example of a large-scale cultural event within a refugee camp, created and run by refugees in collaboration with the host community, for the benefit of both communities.

WE SPENT CHRISTMAS IN BUJUMBURA CITY, BURUNDI (And This Happened)

Bujumbura formerly Usumbura, is the economic capital, largest city and main port of Burundi. It ships most of the country's chief export, coffee, as well as cotton and tin ore. Bujumbura was formerly the country's normal capital. In late December 2018, Burundian president Pierre Nkurunziza announced that he would follow through on a 2007 promise to return Gitega its former political capital status, with Bujumbura remaining as economical capital and center of commerce. A vote in the Parliament of Burundi made the change official on 16 January 2019, with all branches of government expected to move to Gitega within three years.
