Seggae Events This Weekend in Arta

About Seggae

Seggae emerged in Mauritius during the late 1980s as a vibrant fusion of traditional Mauritian sega and Jamaican reggae, pioneered by the musician Kaya. The genre integrates standard reggae instrumentation like electric bass and rhythm guitar with indigenous percussive elements, most notably the ravanne, maravanne, and triangle. Characterized by a distinctive syncopated rhythm that blends reggae's offbeat accents with the driving 6/8 meter of sega, it maintains a moderate tempo designed for both dancing and reflection. Its mood often balances spiritual consciousness with festive energy, serving as a powerful medium for social commentary and cultural identity within the broader Mascarene Islands of the Indian Ocean.
