Benga is a genre of Kenyan popular music. It evolved between the late 1940s and late 1960s in Kenya’s capital city of Nairobi. In the 1940s the African Broadcasting Service in Nairobi aired a steady stream of soukous South African kwela Zairean finger-style guitar and various kinds of Cuban dance music. There were also popular folk songs of Kenya’s Luo peoples.
