INGOMA [I-ŊO-MÆ]
IN THE LANGUAGES OF THE BANTU PEOPLES, INGOMA MEANS A KIND OF DRUM, OR THE SONGS PLAYED ON IT.
IN RWANDA, INGOMA ALSO REFERS TO THE THRONE OF THE PRECOLONIAL KING - A SYMBOL, LIKE THE DRUMS, OF THE ROOTS OF AFRICAN CULTURE.
THOSE DEEP ROOTS: TRADITIONAL STORYTELLING, VIBRANT CREATIVITY, & LONGEVITY STRETCHING BACK MILLENNIA, ARE THE FOUNDATIONS OF EVERYTHING WE DO.
