Benga

Benga was born in and around Nairobi from the late 1940s to the early 1960s as Kenyan guitarists, influenced by Congolese rumba, tried to use electric guitars, drum kits and the electric bass to approximate the sounds and syncopation of traditional Luo instruments. Listen to a formative benga ensemble, Daniel Owino Msiani and the Shirati Band.
