Séga

Séga is a style of music from the islands of Mauritius and Réunion, two French-speaking islands located in the Indian Ocean. It is a fusion of African and European musical elements, combining rhythms from the African slaves brought to the islands with the popular French music of the time. Characterized by its use of call-and-response vocals, improvisation, and French Creole lyrics, the style has been popular since the mid-19th century and is often performed at festivals, parties, and ceremonies.
