Music of Mauritius

Well-known traditional sega singers from Mauritius include Ti Frére, Marlene Ravaton, Serge Lebrasse, Michel Legris and Fanfan.

Some singers planned to also publish an English version of their Sega songs but later abstained in order to preserve the uniqueness and cultural richness of the local music of Mauritius.

Their single "Mo fami Peser" gives an idea of how life has evolved for the black indentured laborer post-slavery.

[citation needed] Indian immigrants have brought their own styles of music and dance, along with instruments like the sitar and tabla.

Their fusion of Bhojpuri lyrics, sega beats, and more traditional Indian as well as Bollywood-style music has gained popularity among Mauritians, "Langaroo" being one of their famous songs.

In 2018, with the advent of the yearly Maytal, Underground Rock Festival and Decibel Assault initiative, many other bands such as Cryptic Carnage, Apostrophe, Ryoshi, Devived, UnMind, Revolt and King of None have started to get mainstream recognition.
