about
Brian Sigu is a contemporary Kenyan benga musician. He fuses Luo folk music and benga music which evolved around the 1950s. Original benga was created by infusing beats from instruments such as Orutu and nyatiti with drums. The rhythm was slow and poetic. Sigu is a guitarist, singer, composer and songwriter. He started his band, Brian Sigu and Kavirondo Blues Band. Sigu combines afro fusion and afro pop. He has replicated the traditional Luo sounds and instruments with modern ones while maintaining the original sounds.
