SAMANDARI CAFE LITTERAIRE

This literary coffee is a "space where all forms of writings arise and intersect: slam, poetry, tales, news, novels, theatre. This is an initiative of the Association des Writers du Burundi, which is already celebrating several years of regular literary exchanges. Every Thursday, comes who wants to talk about works, authors or themes, with writers, intellectuals, musicians… The main facilitators of this «café» (where one does not drink) are the poet Ketty Nivyabandi, its coordinator, and the writer Roland Rugero, his presenter, whose respective coordinates are indicated here. In 2012, Samandari members published a collective Collection, In-dependency (Soma editions), a literary and poetic approach to the fiftieth anniversary of Independence.
