Seggae is a fusion genre of sega, the traditional music of the Mascarene Islands, and reggae.
It was originally created in Mauritius by the musician Kaya and eventually became popular in the Mascarene Islands.
It was invented in the mid-1980s by the Mauritian Rastafari singer Joseph Reginald Topize who was commonly known as Kaya, after a song title by Bob Marley.
Unlike reggae, seggae is played at a 6/8 (common time) tempo, and with 138 to 140bpm, just like sega music.
Nowadays, seggae artists tend to slow down the bpm to give the music a more heavy and soulful touch.
