Cassiya

Cassiya is one of the most popular sega music groups from Mauritius founded in 1988. They were most popular in the mid-1990s. Their influence was not limited to their home island; they also influenced sega musicians on Réunion. They formed their own record label, Cassiya Productions. Their 1996 album Cassiya II "balanced the hypnotic and excitable percussive rhythms of the ravanne with an underlying mournful tone, reminding its listeners of the plight of their ancestors".
