Kaya & Racintatan - Racin Pé Brilé


Released in the mid-eighties this is the original recording of Kaya's most popular song. This song refers to the lack of identify of Mauritians more precisely the Creoles that are often obsessed with the European culture rather than focusing on their own cultural background. Kaya is trying to empower his community by denouncing the lack of vision for the future by singing "amizé aster taler to pu sofer" which means you can have fun now but later you will struggle which refers the community drinking and fun culture which as a consequence affect the entire family life and progression of the community. This song marks the beginning of a change in the Mauritian musical landscape which before Kaya never existed. Mauritians have never heard such powerful lyrics as Sega traditional songs are often based on theme with a sense of humour. This trend of using music to give a message known as "messaz" is now used by the most popular artists on the island in their music like Blakkayo, Dager Killa and others.
