RWANDA’S MOST acclaimed traditional dance troupe, Inganzo Ngari, staged a breath taking performance during the African Day gala at Gazi University Ankara, Turkey. Ingazo Ngari is a group of young Rwandans who use traditional dance to promote the country’s culture.

The Embassy of the Republic of Rwanda in Ankara, Turkey, invited the traditional dance troupe and it was a major hit as the audience comprising students and the natives danced along with the troupe. 

"We are happy to perform in Turkey on such a special occasion and we are pleased with the hospitality and the attention we received from the Turkish people,” speaking to local media, the chairperson of Inganzo Ngari Cultural Troupe, Mr. Alain Nzeyimana said.

The 80-member troupe came together in 2006 and has since gained popularity performing at social events. The group won Best Dance Group at the 2009 Festival of Folkloric Dance in Spain.  Almost every social event is incomplete without a performance from Inganzo Ngari.

They have performed at social events in numerous African countries such as Nigeria, Gabon, Burundi, South Africa, and Spain.
