Burundi is a Central African nation that is closely linked with Rwanda, geographically, historically and culturally. Internationally, the country has produced the music group Master Drummers of Burundi, the former royal percussionists.

Burundian-Belgian musicians like Éric Baranyanka from the burundese royal family, Ciza Muhirwa and, especially, Khadja Nin, have more recently gained prominence.And also the music is from the mind and soul it manily expresses what the people in burndi feels and what they think when they beat he drums.

One feature of Burundian men's folk songs is the inanga accompaniment [1].
