Benna (alternatively spelled bennah, or called ditti) is a genre of Antiguan and Barbudan music.
Benna is a calypso-like genre, characterized by scandalous gossip and a call-and-response format. It first appeared after the prohibition of slavery, and became a form of folk communication in the early 20th century, and it spread local news across the islands.
