Menwar

Child of Cassis, peripheral and populous ghetto of Port-Louis, Menwar has never stopped singing: he has gone through life defending the sega, music of swinging beats, musical heritage of the Mascarene Islands, and he has been able to spread its popularity beyond the Indian Ocean. With his black hands – the meaning of “Menwar” – he has also founded a music school that teaches the ravanne, tambourine-like instrument integral to the sega, through which he is able to transmit a skill which runs the risk of getting lost to history. He is a consummate artist, armed with both social integrity and emotional power.
