Cassiya
Cassiya is one of the most popular sega music groups from Mauritius[1] founded in 1988.
They were most popular in the mid-1990s.[2] Their influence was not limited to their home island; they also influenced sega musicians on Réunion.[2] They formed their own record label, Cassiya Productions.[2] 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".[3]
