Benna (alternatively spelled bennah or called ditti) is a genre of Antiguan and Barbudan music. It is a calypso-like genre characterized by scandalous gossip and a call-and-response format. It first appeared after the prohibition of slavery and became a form of folk communication in the early 20th century and it spread local news across the islands.
