“Ingoma” means both “power” and “drum” in Kinyarwanda, the national language of Rwanda. There, drumming was a royal ritual to honour the country’s history – and for centuries women were prohibited to take part. Years after the genocide against the Tutsi in 1994, a group of women came together to start a healing process. They founded Rwanda’s first exclusively female – and thereby revolutionary – drumming ensemble. Together with soprano Ineza Mugisha and their founder Kiki Katese, Ingoma Nshya tell the stories behind their music.
