Our Story
Remesha Drums is a cultural ensemble originally from Burundi that has been a dynamic part of Ottawa's cultural landscape since 2001. We specialize in the traditional Burundian art form called Ingoma — the sacred drumming tradition that has been passed down through generations.
Our members participated in significant ceremonies in their homeland before establishing themselves in Canada as cultural ambassadors. Each performance blends traditional Burundian beats with the contemporary pulse of Canada's diverse communities, creating extraordinary experiences for our audiences.
From local events in Ottawa-Gatineau to major stages in Québec City, Montréal, Toronto, and venues across the USA — we bring a piece of Burundi to every corner of Canada and beyond.
