Clarel Armelle

Clarel Armelle is the legendary artist of the typical Mauritian Sega. Clarel lives in Poudre D’or. He has his own restaurant, in which he already works. He used to go sing in hotels before performing with the musical band “Ravanne Sans Frontière”. The first song he sang was “Linité”.

Clarel Armelle has firmly established himself as a renowned singer-songwriter with an unforgettable musical repertoire. He has dedicated over two decades to the music industry, and he has been encouraged by fellow local artists to persist on his journey. He firmly believes that pursuing one’s aspirations is essential for success in the music industry. As of today, his music enjoys significant acclaim and recognition.

He generously shared his talent with both local and international audiences. His brilliance has graced the grand stages of the most prestigious music festivals not only in Mauritius but also on a global scale, with captivating performances in countries such as France, Canada, China, and Australia.

Throughout his career, he drew profound inspiration from artists like Michel Legris, Serge Lebrasse, and Marclaine Antoine.

Nevertheless, he harnesses this emotion as a driving force to safeguard the Mauritian culture. His talent stands as a precious legacy, a beacon illuminating the cultural traditions, notably through the enchanting lyrics and rhythms of the sega and the soul-stirring heartbeat of the ravanne, driven by his unwavering desire to keep the flame of his nation’s culture forever burning bright.
