Born in the island of Rodrigue (700 km from Mauritius), Ras Natty Baby pioneered a music style called “Seggae”. This draws its inspiration from Rastafarian philosophy, local Sega rhythms, reggae and the harsh social and economic realities that surrounded the singer. In the Petite Rivière community where he lived, he set up his Natty Rebels, a band that enjoyed widespread success as a modern expression of a Creole people which has felt marginalised and repressed for decades.
