She is one of the most appreciated artists by Mauritians, Réunionese and even the whole world. Laura Beg has put her voice on zouk, reggae and dancehall. She also masters a variety of songs and has a great energy on stage!

Blakkayo

Blakkayo is a local artist as well as a well known activist. Since he was young, music has been his passion. He performed with his friends on stage in the 90s. He was then encouraged by Bruno Raya to join the OSB crew, which became a trend and very popular for many years. From his first day on stage, he did an outstanding performance that made him love live shows and also the stage where he feels more alive.

Alain Ramanisum

Alain started in the music industry at a young age. He was part of the group Cassiya at the age of 15, where he was the pianist. After that, he had a very successful career as a solo artist, with various hits and albums. One of his biggest hits is undoubtedly “Li Tourner”, which can still be heard at most dances, weddings and festivals on the island. ‘Li Tourner’ also caught the attention of DJ Assad and Willy William who, along with Alain, released a remix of this classic in 2013. With about 15 albums to his credit, Alain is definitely a staple of Mauritian sega! Whether it’s bringing a Mauritian Sega twist to the classic Indian hit “Kia Hua” with his own interpretation or incorporating the Hindi language into his song “Aao Nacho”, Alain is a multi-talented artist. From segas that make everyone dance to segas that make people cry, Alain has a discography that covers it all.
