If there's one place that has produced many household names in local rhumba, ohangla and benga music, it's Siaya County.

While 'Siaya Kababa' may not have much to offer in terms of infrastructure, it is Kenya's version of the Democratic Republic of Congo, which overflows with creative flair.

Some say that the place has 'big egos' and a rich musical culture that dwarfs Homa Bay, Kisumu, Migori and other western Kenya counties combined.

Artistes currently topping the charts like Prince Inda, Musa Jakadala, Emma Jalamo and John Junior hail from Siaya.
