Kaya & Racine Tatane - Kiltir


This song is one Kaya’s masterpiece where he delivers powerful lyrics urging the creoles people to look at Africa for inspiration as a cure against the so called “malaise creoles” which is a lack of identity from the black and the mix population. This identity crisis which has created confusion and division amongst the Mauritian people is seen as a cancer that creoles has inherited from slavery which is spreading on the island in the eyes of Kaya and the only remedy is through a greater understanding of the African History. This is a rebellion song and the band does a good job in providing this hypnothic riddim in true Seggae style. Ethiopia here is seen as the sacred land once run by King Solomon and Queen Sheba and their direct descendant Haile Selassie described here as the savior against Babylon. In this song he rejects the Sega dance and songs seen as a product of slavery and urge creoles people to have more belief and self esteem about their heritage as creoles once came from a land of kings and queens.

Kaya was a man singing for Mauritian people to unite as one, regardless of ethnicity and religion. And you post a video which is encouraging division in Mauritius, pinning police brutality and politics on a community. Open your eyes, we are all one. Looking for discrimination everywhere is one of the reasons for discrimination itself
