Karyenda
The karyenda is a traditional African drum. It was the main symbol of Burundi and its ''mwami'' (kings) and had semidivine status. The ''mwami'' was said to interpret the beatings of the karyenda into rules for the kingdom.
== History ==
When Burundi gained independence from Belgium in 1962, the karyenda was the symbol on the national flag and its coat of arms from 1962-1966.〔''Guide to the Flags of the World'' by Mauro Talocci, revised and updated by Whitney Smith (ISBN 0-688-01141-1), p. 153.〕 It was replaced after the republic was established. Traditionally the most important folk songs and dances were performed to extol the virtues of the kingship. One big festival was the annual ''umuganuro'' (sorghum festival), which was a huge display of pomp, festivities, and dances for the royal court. Since the fall of the monarchy in 1966, and particularly after a massacre of Hutus in 1972, such cultural expressions have waned.
The second most important drum was the ''rukinzo''. It accompanied the ''mwami'' wherever he went.
The drums, despite all upheavals, have remained popular and are still revered. The old families who were wardens of the drums have tried to keep the ancient traditions alive. Some have an international outreach, such as the Royal Drummers of Burundi, or L. Ndoricimpa and C. Guillet, who recorded ''Les tambours du Burundi'' (''The Drums of Burundi'') in 1983.
