Gengetone is a fast-paced, club-oriented style featuring Swahili lyrics over electronic beats. Kapuka combines Kenyan pop rhythms with electronic dance music. Soulful R&B blended with African influences creates a unique Kenyan style. Underground hip hop and rap continue to thrive as youth push boundaries with conscious lyrics.
