They shape their own sound blending elements of\u00a0hip-hop, dancehall, reggae, rnb, afropop, kwaito-house and many others. The group calls this blend of styles kukaning\u2019inako (which means from the Kaningina mountain).<\/p>\n<p>The style reflects &#8220;african deep fascination in digital media and technologies, juggling with western and african genres. It can brings to ones mind musical postmodernism, though it has totally different background and context.
