The Burundi cultural heritage is characterized by the drumming of Karyenda which is an integral part of their cultural heritage. Burundi artisans compose special songs in relation to the different stages of their work.

For Burundians greeting is done by shaking the right hand with another. Intimate friends often touch each other’s cheeks 3 times or offer a hug by holding tight the other person’s shoulder. To express respect of social status people hold their right forearm with their left hand while shaking hands. Holding hands between people of the same sex is a sign of friendship. For a man to greet a woman it is appropriate to wait for the woman to extend her hand first. In a conversation eye contact might be more indirect; women and children look down or away to show respect.

Whereas in Rwanda music and dance are an integral part of their ceremonies, social gatherings, festivals and storytelling. Intore, highly choreographed routine characterized with the ballet which is a performance by women, the dance of the heroes – a performance by Rwandan men and the drums usually played together in groups of seven or nine have won international recognition.
