  • Description: The drums are not the normal drums used in Ruanda (Rwanda) but substitutes. The timekeeper was playing on the same head as the leader which is not correct, in the villages each man having his own drum. The click of sticks can consequently be heard as they strike each other. The players were a small informal group of Hutu miners over 600 miles from home working at the Kolwezi Copper Mine. Yet home style drumming was their particular joy and constant recreation. At approximately 3 minutes, they appear to change to the Urukina tatoo. This tatoo underlines again the fundamental difference of apprach to drumming between the Hima and the Bantu. Although the Hutu speak a Bantu language and are originally of Bantu descent there is widespread intermarriage between them and the Hima overlords, the Tutsi, and the Hima attitude to music and drumming appears to have persisted. Three drum rhythms, three laced conical drums

At approximately 3 minutes, they appear to change to the Urukina tatoo. The name of this tatoo was annoinced at the beginning. During the playing the leader broke four sticks one after the other, his friends handing him substitutes. The sticks were only short pieces of wood not the correct spoon headed carved beaters used in ther own country. This tatoo underlines again the fundamental difference of apprach to drumming between the Hima and the Bantu. Although the Hutu speak a Bantu language and are originally of Bantu descent there is widespread intermarriage between them and the Hima overlords, the Tutsi, and the Hima attitude to music and drumming appears to have persisted.
