He played hits from artists such as Mike Brant, Santana, and Deep Purple, and hosted dances and weddings with his first band, "Wind and Fire".

After touring with Lélou Menwar, Kaya gathered some friends from his hometown, Roche-Bois, to create the group 'Racinetatan'; named after a Malagasy prince exiled in Mauritius.

Valayden then asked the crowd for a show of hands in support of resolutions calling for the decriminalization, and appealed to then Prime Minister Navin Ramgoolam for those imprisoned for possession of marijuana to be amnestied.

Kaya's wife, aided by his fellow musicians and members of the MR (not including Valayden), managed to raise the bail money.

However, due to various blunders of the lawyers involved, and especially a lack of political support for the MR, Kaya was not released on the expected date of February 20.

Official records state that Kaya, suffering from drug withdrawal, threw himself against the walls of his own cell and broke his skull in the process.

[7] In late 2005 Véronique Topize, Kaya's wife and hairdresser as profession, received a compensation of Rs 4.5 Millions from the Government of Mauritius.

[8] In an interview with Daniella Grandcourt in 2019 Véronique Topize revealed that a psychic in France had predicted Kaya's premature death and subsequent riots in 1993.
