The traditional Mauritian Sega

 

 

Traditional Mauritian sega is an emblematic performing art of the Creole community. Each soloist improvises words, while a drum, a rattle box and a triangle set the tempo and produce the typical rhythm. The dancers move their hips and hands, taking small steps to move around each other. Practitioners transmit their knowledge both formally and informally through participation and imitation. Sega can be danced by all members of the community and helps to unify different groups around a shared Mauritian heritage.
