Alain Ramanisum

Alain started out quite young in the music industry. He was part of the famous band Cassiya at the age of 15 where he was the pianist. He was also the first one to leave the band but never had any bad blood with any of the other members. He went on to have a very fruitful career as a solo artist with various hits and albums.

One of his biggest hits is undoubtedly ‘Li Tourner’ which can still be heard in the majority of balls, weddings, and festivals organised across the island. ‘Li Tourner’ also got the attention of DJ Assad and Willy William and together with Alain, they released a remix of the classic hit in 2013. With approximately 15 albums under his belt, Alain has is definitely a staple in the Mauritian sega.

Mauritius, being a multicultural island, is home to many languages and this can be seen in many of Alain’s songs. From bringing a touch of Mauritian sega to the classic Indian hit ‘Kia Hua’ with his own rendition or incorporating the Hindi language to his song ‘Aao Nacho’, Alain is an artist with many talents. Be it for segas to bring everyone on the dancefloor or segas that bring tears to one’s eyes, Alain has a discography to cover all.

When he is not lighting up the dancefloor with his tunes, he is the doting husband of Laura Beg, another Mauritian artist and they both have a son. Alain is also the father of Melodie Ramanisum and the relationship between the two can be heard in the song Melodie by Alain.

With his variety of songs, Alain is no stranger to being named Song of the Year by Mauritian radios.
