He deserves a unique place in our culture as his songs share universalism and unity among our population. Unfortunately,some did not appreciate his honesty and lost his life for being honest and one of the finest singers. He will always rest in peace and his songs will remain a landmark in our culture as Freeman Lagarde ,one of the few creole singers who composed and sang hindi songs througout the islands since early fifties and made his mark at the MBC.

I got here searching for some info on Kaya. You made some great posts on Mauritian music. Hallmarks are surely Kaya, Ti Frère, Bhojpuri Boys and contemporary mix styles such as Monaster which I feel is heavily influenced by French rap groups like Iam (speaking of the album "l'école du micro d'argent"). Anyways, in my opinion some of Kaya's best songs are 'simé la limier', 'sa nou la misik' and 'ras kouyon'. Ti Frere wrote the best sega there ever was and I would tell everybody to listen to "Roseda". Great article :-) Hi,
