African music styles like lingala are created when artistes mimic the sounds of traditional instruments with mordern equipment. Kenya's most popular/successful style is benga, a style of music that mimics the traditional instruments of the Luo. Even the music of the Kikuyu (eg Kamaru) is influenced by the benga sound.
