" Burundi Bwacu" (Kirundi pronunciation: [buɾúːndi bɡát͡ʃu]; "Our Burundi") is the national anthem of Burundi. Written in the Kirundi language by a group of writers led by Jean-Baptiste Ntahokaja, a Catholic priest, and composed by Marc Barengayabo, it was adopted upon independence in 1962.

One feature of Burundian men's folk songs is the presence of an inanga, a type of stringed zither. [1] Burundian women greet each other in an interlocking rhythmic vocal form called akazehe. [2]
