He played the masenqo (a.k.a. masinko) and used drum machine and keyboards on his later recordings. His music has been described as "droney, hypnotic and trance-like".
Kegne was hardly known in Europe when, in 1996, he was 'discovered' by members of legendary Dutch punk/avant-garde/world combo, The Ex. A posthumous compilation of Kegne's cassette recordings was released on Terp Records, The Ex' Amsterdam-based record label, in 2013.
