#seggae

When I started the original Radio Faux Show, one of my favorite themes was to take a trip around the world and learn about music that I do not know. I’ll come back to my normal posts in a few weeks, but for now let’s continue our journey around the globe. Kaya was a Mauritian performer who created the style known as seggae, a fusion of Mauritian sega and reggae. He died at the age of 38 after…

Le 22 osi ti enn zour som. Mo pa oule ekrir dan sa langl la me ena kisoz ki pou rearive la, kapav zis lor plan perso, pou tou dimounn. Kan soz nu pankor konn so nom ti touy Kaya, Venus (planet lamizik, lar, pa zis lamour ek lager) ti dan Pwason. Sa pann protez Kaya. Mo kroir Kobit osi so Venus dan Pwason parski mo konn kikenn extra bien depi avan mo nesans, bann leak la rapel mwa li. Venus la C payet, prozekter, fairytale, 1 mari show (telenovela selon Moustas), smoke n mirrors. Dimounn sou limpresion enn mari romans, 1 mari fam (Macbeth in the sheets) ou bel fiesta. Dimounn koma Trump/Biden ou Dounk co-krafte sistem ki fer dimounn pens koum sa. Biden etc. kontinie system la, zot bann poupet dounk. Si Venus ti tuzur dan pwason la, kot li pe retourne, mari lafaya ti pou fer ar Seggae day. Bon, dan Indien li tuzur dan pwason. Mercur osi ti dan pwason, koma aktielman ek koma pou Baron Trump ek so asandan. Pwason 1 pwazon pou bann Lion, sori a pwason ki dekolonial (pa zot, ok). 26 an apre, zourlanis res ekrir ki Kaya ti dir linn fime. Li ena drwa revandik so drwa relizion si li pann gagn konsey personn, ek kroir mwa mem aster li pa fasil gagn konsey legal ouswa kone kot pou gagn sa, pou 1 sitwayin sirtou 1 fam/ 1 andikape. Kan mem ki linn dir, ti plan 1 levennman an Fev pa an Mai, kan soley ek 2 planet ti dan pwason kot li kritik pou 1 Lion. Riske gagn ferme, inn ekrir limier sir nwar (dan lesiel) depi touletan. Pa pe tir blam lor li met lor 1 lot dimounn, li osi li 1 Lion? Antouka, Venus pe retourn dan Pwason lot mwa, vey to ledo, pa les kouyonn twa, pa les to ex revinn kuyonn twa si li pou met twa a risk pou feminisid par examp. Personn pa pou kas latet sov to lavi, zom pou koz nimport dan komanter pou sov zimaz tou zom.

Sa vwayant Kaya ti gete lafrans la , mo pa konn nanye lor li, mwa mo kroir ki zot pwiz dan bann dark forces ki konstitie sistem la. Mo pa kroir ti ariv Kaya so ler, sistem la ki kroir sa ek kinn fer ariv sa. Sinwa ti kapav dir twa ziska ki laz Kaya ti ena pou viv. Sistem la lamem avek Seggae day kom manifestasion banal. Parski kan sistem la inn touy nou ou nou leader, zot fete, se enn fet dan tou sistem.

Mo pankor truv personn [sof 1 kandida/ rep 1 parti lor 1 paz artis] ki ti dir zot pou sanz sistem la inn dir kisoz kont ou an soutien a Mme Veronique Topize, sa zot ena tor parski zot pa ti ezite servi sante Kaya dan kanpagn. A mwin 1 kandida reprezant tou parti, ou mwa ki pann truv komanter, mo pann chek lexpres. Kapav Mme Topize ekrir tousel a guvernman pou ki sa pa paret enn act politik wi. Mazinn ou dey osi pe persevwar koma 1 act politik, apre otan soufrans, san lazistis. Kuraz madam, mo leker fermal. Nou tou nou leker ti bizin inn res lour avek ou 26 an, me dimounn nepli ena leker mem dan pei la.

Translation: What's this new feeling they're inflicting on us When you multiply your revolt The whole head hurts The heart's ailed What law will they use among rebels Synthetic men, a viper's nest Living artificially Against the natural Stop giving your soul to other traditions We're done done done done overturned With fake culture and superstition

Enslavement changed, turned to utter misery Everyone rejoices in doing the contrary Making wrong what's good Taking what's wrong for good O ooo oooh oooh ooooh Ki santima nouvo zot pe inflize Kan to miltiplie to revolt La tete entie malad Leker soufran Ki la lwa pou servi parmi enn bann rebel Enn bann synthétik enn bann ras viper Pe viv artificiel Zot kont natirel Ase konfie to namm avec bann tradition Noun fini fini fini fini devoster Avec foss kiltir ek siperstition

Artist: Kaya Genre: Seggae Translation: I recall when I was a child My teacher would waste his time To make me understand Everything upside down

I lived in superstition Surrounded by all that scared me For my freedom It's they who decided

Now I've a chance that opened up With a light I can now review The connections I have

Now I've a chance that opened up With its intelligence My life's ensnared as it's so precious

Now I've a chance that opened up With a light Now I'll tell you how I feel

We need to speak the truth, youth Relatives didn't care to hear it once How many died When they needed wisdom

We always reject what is good All our life was wasted in hate I'm singing love For us to get freedom

Now I've a chance that opened up With a light I can now review The connections I have

Now I've a chance that opened up With its intelligence My life's ensnared as it's so precious

Now I've a chance that opened up With a light Now I'll tell you how I feel

Ti rap pap ti ro ri roy Ti rap pap ti ro ri roy Ti ra ra ri rap tap ta ri re ro

Now I've a chance that opened up With a light I can now review The connections I have

Now I've a chance that opened up With its intelligence My life's ensnared as it's so precious

Now I've a chance that opened up With a light Now I'll tell you how I feel
