Dubbed ‘Iwacu Heza’ which literally means ‘Our beautiful home’, the Bafumbira gathering is returning on 5th May 2024 to be held at Tales Bar and Lounge in Bukoto dubbed as a family day out event.
The event has always been a contemporary cultural showpiece done twice a year through art, traditional dance and folk to celebrate the Bafumbira/Banyarwanda.
The organisers, a group of vibrant youth, said, the much sought-after event seeks to bind them to not only “vibe” but also celebrate their Bafumbira heritage hence cementing a strong youth and a cultural network.
According to the event organizers, this event aims at bringing together all the Bafumbira, Banyarwanda and Barundi in one space to celebrate their cultural heritage and also showcase their rich values through performing arts, dressing, and local cuisine while connecting the future with the past traditional practices.
The event will help the group to unveil their identity but also tap into the uniqueness of a young passion and energy of youth, through exquisite event experiences among others.
There will be performances from some of Uganda’s acts like Ruyonga, Ingyenzi cultural troupe, backbone band among others and entrance to the event will be 20k adults and kids free.
