Today; not only are Rwandans living together but they share the common aspirations as one people as it used to be.

Music and dance plays an important role in the traditions of Rwandans. The Rwandan people have a variety of music and dance which range from acts that demonstrate epics commemorating excellence and bravery, humorous lyrics to hunting root.

ntore Dance Troup is the finest model of Rwanda's varied and dynamic traditional musical and dance styles. A wide range of traditional handicrafts is produced in rural Rwanda , ranging from ceramics and basketry to traditional woodcarvings and contemporary paintings.

Rwanda has thousands of exciting cites where one would find objects that reflects its culture. Butare Province which is located in the southern, bordered with Burundi , you find the superb National Museum which houses the paramount ethnographic collection.
