MSS Closing Down

Today is a sad day because Mauritius Sun Sound is shutting down. The reason for this decision is due to the fact that this blog was created with the love for the Mauritian culture and people. However the level of participation has been very low both in terms of comments to our posts and the number of people joining our network. We did not ask for money or anything materialistic, we even opt out advertising on the page, all we wanted was to know how you the readers felt about our work, that took a lot of research and dedication to complete, but so far we have had no participation at all.
Our aim was to keep the Mauritian culture alive in this time of confusion where our culture is fading away in the light of technological globalisation, misinformation and acceptance about our past, but the Mauritian people again refuse education and prefer to remain ignorant.
In order to change things history taught us that it wasn't enough to sit at home comfortable and expect change to happen but instead get involved, putting yourself in the frontline just like we doing now to guarantee a better future for the generations to come.

We wish Mauritius and Mauritians the best of luck, when actually this blog will be taken down is yet to be confirmed.

Best Regards,

MSS Staff

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.
