Kazbel by Annega x Backstage

18+ Event

On 20 November, Backstage welcomes KAZBEL by Annega for an evening where Mauritian music takes on a different sound.

Led by award-winning Mauritian singer-songwriter Annega, Kazbel offers a musical experience that blends Mauritian voices, traditional rhythms and contemporary instrumentation.

The project reimagines Annega’s original compositions through the distinctive Kazbel sound, combining vocals with ravann, kayamb, triangle, guitars, brass and strings. This combination of traditional and modern instruments creates an organic musical experience driven by the rhythms and voices of Mauritius.

The evening will also feature interpretations of Mauritian classics associated with Cassiya, Tifrer, Blackmen Bluz and Menwar, allowing audiences to rediscover these songs through Kazbel’s unique musical identity.

A chance to experience Mauritian music from a different perspective, blending cultural heritage, original compositions and the energy of a live performance.
