Ndere Cultural Centre

Sunday night saw us join Peter S for an evening of culture at the local Ndere Centre. The presentation ran for about 3 hours.

The program included dances from across Uganda. One of my personal highlights was a visiting drumming troupe from Burindi.

There were about 10 men, each dressed in a traditional costume and each playing a drum. The various drums were painted in vibrant colours (from their national flag) and looked absolutely amazing!

The strength of their playing lifted the hairs on my arms - it was loud but it sounded terrific!
