Genge (Kenya)
The genge is a Kenyan hip-hop and afrobeat style that emerged in the 2010s, combining Nigerian afrobeats rhythms with Swahili hip-hop. The term comes from a characteristic dance move. Lyrics are in Swahili and English, with references to the urban life of Nairobi.
Notable artists include Nandy, Emmmmy (the first woman of the genre), and Kenyan collectives from Nairobi. Genge has become popular across East Africa and influenced Tanzanian bongo flava.
