Paragraph.

 The Tutsi women still make different types of art, as they did back in the early 1800's. Basket weaving is still practiced today, but normally not handmade as it used to be. Like said in Part 1, more often than not basket weaving is now done in the workshops that are spreading all over the place. The baskets are usually made with plastic and not the real material the Tutsi women would normally use. Not only do the Tutsi women do basket weaving, but the other part of their artistic ability also extends to the musical arts. "At family gatherings imvyino songs with a short refrain and a strong beat that often include improvised verses, are sung." (Burundi Culture).

Today, most of the Tutsi tribe can choose the person they want to marry, where as the in the past they had arranged marriages by the same social classes. Group activities are more common than dating in couples. In Rwanda and Burundi, most of the Tutsi are still Christians, and believe in the same God or Creator, Imaana. In the world today, there is very little difference between the Hutu and the Tutsi. They share similar beliefs, and the same language - Bantu. "Kubandwa is one of the most important religious festivals. It celebrates the grain harvest and pays homage to Kiranga, a spirit who is the leader of all the dead ancestors. At this ceremony, young men decorate their bodies and engage in traditional chants and dances; one of them dresses as Kiranga. At the end of the festival, people bathe in a stream in a cleansing ritual. Another central ritual is a fertility ceremony called umuganuro, in which a sacred drum is played and a virgin plants the first sorghum seeds to assure a good harvest." (Burundi Culture).
