Who We Are?
Our Story
Remesha Drums, originally from Burundi, has been a dynamic part of Ottawa’s cultural landscape since 2001. Our ensemble, skilled in the traditional art of Ingoma, embraces the rhythms that have resonated through generations. From our early days in Burundi, participating in significant ceremonies, to our current role as ambassadors of our culture in Canada, our journey is rich with tradition, passion, and a deep connection to our heritage.
Showcasing Our Talent
We’ve brought our energetic performances to diverse audiences, from local events in Ottawa-Gatineau to international stages in cities like Québec City, Montréal, Toronto, and beyond, including the USA. Our performances are a celebration of culture, blending traditional Burundian beats with the contemporary pulse of Canada’s diverse communities.
