Indahemuka (Rwandese Cultural Dancers)

The Indahemuka are the most impressive and graceful African performing dancers of Rwanda in Ottawa and Montreal. Here they performed at St. Paul University in Ottawa in honour of the former Deputy Prime Minister Mrs. Sheila Copps. Vusi Moloi recorded this for AfroCaribOttawa.

Ok, They're telling a story in their dance,...what does it all mean?

[Mtimkhulu]

You see their graceful movements as well as their spreading of the hands they are mimicking a graceful African bird in the land of Rwanda. This bird struts about before taking off and will flap and spread its wings threaning to fly but give another dance before that eventual flight. Your intuitive is very sharp and I respect that in you.

Actually this is the first time I've ever heard that Rwandese dancing translates to "mimicking a...bird". The graceful and elegant movements-which you were right about-symbolize the long-horned cows and their graceful dances mirror the grace that these beautiful cows portray.

[Mtimkhulu]

Your input is appreciated. many thanks and stick around.

[Mtimkhulu]

Like all good things it's one of those once in a while things in the beutiful life.

@nami26 I agree completely, your interpretation is correct n a positie factor towards the culture ;-) love it n will always (from Nyabushozi, Western Uganda) x

[we315tisini]

@Mtimkhulu both of you are actually right, it depends on the area since that type of dancing is not just in Rwanda but in the lake Kivu area and other surroundings ex Burundi, west Tanzania, South Uganda, some Congo parts etc but its usually the bird inyange or the cows..

@IReallyDoKnowBest lol @ the thought you think you are smart. What a fuckin dumb ass. You sound like an ass who is trying to get some kind of attention on the internet, I don't have time for your long face. I'm not into that homo shit that u're on, I'm just enjoyin the video. Grow the fuck up and find other way to express your hate toward Congolese. Go eat a dick. I'm not interested in your argument. Get a life. lol... fuckin idiot, seeking for attention. SMFH.

[IReallyDoKnowBest]

@CSwiss No wonder why your country is at war, you Congolese are so ghetto, you have to result to swearing and violence, why? Because I advised you to stop bragging about the fact that you wish to get "20 baby wives" when you should be thinking about how to stop the mass rapes that is going on in your country?

As for you threatening to beat (not "be") my ass, with your level of intellect, you'll most likely end up beating your own ass.

[CSwiss]

@IReallyDoKnowBest U must think u're very tough wit such language online. U n I both kno if I was to run into yor bonny ass in real life, I'd be that ass. So seat down somewhere with ya long face, dumb ass.

[IReallyDoKnowBest]

@CSwiss STFU and stop trying to degrade other African countries women like how you Congolese BASTARDS have degraded your women.

What makes you think you can get even one Rwandan female...what you want they deaths in your country Congo triple?
