 Kaya
THE DEATH OF "SEGGAE" SINGER IN POLICE CUSTODY SPARKS REVOLT IN MAURITIUS By Silja J.A. Talvi In late February, the death in police custody of a Rastafarian singer and marijuana decriminalization advocate sparked three days of rioting and looting which temporarily left the Mauritian capital Port Louis paralyzed and another popular singer dead.
Joseph Reginald Topize, 38, known to his community as Kaya, was the pioneer of a style of Mauritian music known as "seggae," a fusion of reggae and sega, the traditional folk music of the island nation.
While it's unlikely that Kaya ever set out to become a martyr for the cause of decriminalization or a symbol for the societal marginalization of Mauritian Creoles, his death has unquestionably ushered in a new period of self-reflection for the 31-year-old island nation.

 Home of Rock - Artikel - Fight Again - Reggae auf mauritius
Reggae in der Tradition von Bob Marley ist für sie fester Bestandteil ihres Lebens und in den 80er Jahren schufen einige Rasta-Musiker, darunter Joseph Réginald Topize, aka Kaya, und die Band Racinetatane eine für Mauritius ganz eigene Musikform, den Seggae.
Seggae ist eine Mischung aus Roots-Reggae à la Jamaica und dem Sega, der Musik der afrikanischen Sklaven auf Mauritius, der traditionell auf einfachen Instrumenten gespielt wurde wie Triangel, Maravane, einer mit Körner gefüllten Büchse, und der Ravanne, einer flachen Trommel, die erst am Lagerfeuer erwärmt werden muß, damit sie richtig klingt und schwingt.
Und weil der Seggae auch die Musik ist, mit der die Rastafarians ihre Identität ausdrücken wollen, werden die teilweise recht kritischen Texte über ihr Leben auf Mauritius auf Creol gesungen.

 Sonny Morgan - Seychelles Sega Musician
My dissertation however will leave the UK scene but will focus on the arrival of reggae music in my homeland the Seychelles and how it has developed to incorporate and fit itself comfortably into our traditional popular culture the ‘Sega’ and changed it to form what is now call the ‘Seggae’.
At the end of my investigation I should be able to understand how reggae reached our shores, how it has managed to infiltrate itself into the Seychelles mainstream and its role and importance in our popular culture.
Any art that crosses cultural boundaries risks being watered down in order to reach a mass audience, is this the case for Seggae?
