Kenyan Indie label Bengatronics will on Friday 26th July launch the first album: Benga Belt Vol. 1 off the stable at Alliance Française in Nairobi starting at 7pm. Bengatronics passes for a multi-ethic, multi-disciplinary, inter-national, ethno-fusion collective that pursues an eclectic, forward thinking, futuristic flavor of Benga music from Kenya.
Benga Belt Vol 1 album is a clear attempt at unifying the pop sounds of Kenya, rooted in cultural heritage of benga music. Drawing creative inspiration from the Benga Belt of Kenya (from Kisumu in Western Kenya to Kilifi in South East of Kenya), Bengatronics explores the sonic fusion of Benga roots music with electronica, rhumba, jazz, trap and hip hop.
