Seggae
Seggae is a music genre that originated in Mauritius during the late 1980s. It blends elements of reggae and sega, a traditional Mauritian music style. Seggae features rhythmic guitar strumming, melodic bass lines, and often incorporates local instruments, creating a unique sound that reflects the island's cultural heritage.
The lyrics of Seggae songs typically address social issues, love, and everyday life, often delivered in Creole. Prominent Seggae artists, such as Kassav' and Zanaka, have contributed to the genre's popularity, making it a significant part of Mauritius' musical identity and cultural expression.
