Ohangla

Ohangla is a traditional music genre rooted in the Luo community of Kenya, characterized by its fast-paced, rhythmic beats and vibrant melodies, typically played with percussive instruments like drums, nyatiti (a type of lyre), and orutu (a one-stringed fiddle). The genre's compelling tempo and distinctive syncopation make it a staple in social gatherings, ceremonies, and celebrations. Artists like Dola Kabarry, ABENNY JACHIGA, and Emma Jalamo infuse modern elements into Ohangla, incorporating electric instruments and contemporary styles while retaining its rich, cultural essence. The genre is known for its lyrical themes, often reflecting daily life, love stories, societal issues, and ancestral homage. Ohangla’s infectious energy and authentic expression continue to resonate both locally and globally.
