One of my students, a native of Antigua, writing on the 60s referred to benna 
music.  I couldn'f find it in the OED and I wondered about the etymology.  
She wrote: "The Caribbean music was the popular calypso earlier known as “benna 
music,” and many churches, established and new evangelical, branded the “
benna music” bad and unwholesome."
