Seggae
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Seggae is a music genre invented in the mid 1980s by the Mauritian Rasta singer, Joseph Reginald Topize who was sometimes known as Kaya, after a song title by Bob Marley. He was reportedly killed by police in his police cell in a racially motivated attack. This led to racial tensions rising and subsequent social unrest by the indigenous Mauritian creoles and their anger at having been marginalized by the reigning government. Seggae is a fusion of sega from the island country, Mauritius, and reggae.
Seggea is one of the dominant music genres in Mauritius at the time of writing.
