Abstract:
Intore dancers wear a golden sisal headdress which symbolizes the mane of a lion. When their arms are raised, it’s in reference to the royal Inyambo long-horned cows. And the menacing spear work done throughout the dance is exactly what it looks like. While today the dance is purely ceremonial, its intensity hasn’t waned. Here, there’s a lot of singing, chanting and smiles as well, but that’s just the Rwandan way. Performances usually take place at cultural villages and museums. Leaving the country without seeing one would be a mistake (ΠΗΓΗ: https://www.nationalgeographic.com/travel/slideshow/partner-content-colors-and-contrasts-rwanda)
