      No it was sacret, they never just played any time or for any occasion neither for anyone like these modern days Was done only on day of Umuganuro or kwimikwa. Only the King could determine whn to play Drums . it was a too sacret and Taboo. Do's and don'ts.skin cows used, Type of tree used to make Drums. The leading Drum "Karyenda" had a human Wife."Mukakaryenda" Whos job is to clean it wth ghee "Butter ". She ll Never get married. Forever virgin. Only "Mwami "the King could play the leading Drum on day of" Umuganuro" harvest festival.

    What exactly do you mean by "Tutsi warriors dance"? You might be referring to Burundian traditional dance or the Rwandan dance of heroes. The point is that there is national and regional culture, not ethnic.
