Benga music emerged in the 1940s among the Luo community in Western Kenya, with its roots traced back to traditional Luo musical traditions. Over time, it evolved, incorporating influences from neighboring countries such as Congo, Tanzania, and Uganda, as well as Western genres like jazz and rumba. Musa Juma, hailed as one of the modern-day legends of Benga, masterfully encapsulates these diverse influences in “Christina.”
