In the heart of Africa, the hills of Rwanda spread out from the waters of the Nile and the Congo divide. In Rwanda, vocal and instrumental music are distinct, as are the forms of musical expression found in the three social groups.
Vocal music includes the pastoral, ritual, heroic, popular and hunting styles.
Instrumental music uses the drums, tabla-zither, the vertical flute, the musical bow, trumpets, the 'sanza,' the horn and a kind of fiddle.
