{{Modernisation is threatening the very existence of some of Rwanda\u2019s traditional values and cultural heritage thus the struggle for its survival begins on the 17th of February 2012 in Kigali with an open round table discussion with some of Rwanda\u2019s great minds.}}<\/p>\n
However, modernisation comes with a price; our responsibility to keep our traditional cultures alive.<\/p>\n
Its upon this background therefore that Rwandan great minds; Kalisa Rugano a writer and a cultural activist, Thomas Bazatsinda the chief of the national ballet of Rwanda and Dr. Amiable Mugarwa a senior lecturer and founder of the cultural lab \u201cUmurage\u201d will be present at this month\u2019s round table discussion sharing with the public their knowledge on how to preserve cultural heritage while living in a modern society. <\/p>\n
IGIHE.com talked to Miss. Angella a Rwandan author that will be present at the discussion, \u201cRight now modernization is not a way of life in the contemporary Rwanda, but the changes are very visible.\u201d <\/p>\n
She added, \u201cIf you are to compare the past traditional values and cultural lifestyle to today, you will notice changes through the behaviour of present society. For example; the influx of newly created Kinyarwanda words are common. One doesn\u2019t know the difference between the original and slang version which is threatening the original and rich texts into oblivion.\u201d<\/p>\n
She explains that what was once a group of a few university students trying to break in the music industry in Rwanda has become an industry with rich talent every other hour. On the contrary all this new modernization of our music is drowning traditional music.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
