Kenyans
love to party, and the music style known as Benga is the contemporary dance
music that rules. It originated among the Luo people of western Kenya and
became popular in the area in the 1950s.
Now in
the late 1900, early 2000 Kenya's hip hop scene has really taken off. Only a
few years ago, it was unthinkable for a Kenyan to earn any money, let alone
earn a living from the trade. Well brace yourself, Kenya’s hip hop scene is
among the most vibrant in Africa....and with a rapid rise in its popularity,
both in Kenya and worldwide, this hip hop scene will only get better.
The
national dish of Kenya is a cornmeal mush called Ugali. It is cornmeal cooked
with water to a thick consistency and poured out onto a board or plate for
everyone to eat from. Green vegetables are important to the African diet. In
Kenya, collard greens are both cheap and popular. The dish sukuma wiki
literally translates to "stretch the week." True Swahili cuisine is
best found at the coast.
Beer
drinkers are well supplied in this country. Kenyans love their beer almost as
much as their dancing and there's a thriving local brewing industry.
