In the 1970s, artists from Réunion and Mauritius began fusing island styles - Maloya and Séga - with psychedelic rock, funk, and soul. 

Séga, rooted in Afro-Creole rhythms and often sung in Mauritian Creole, developed as a celebratory dance music drawing from European, African, and Indian influences. Maloya, native to Réunion, originated in enslaved Malagasy and African communities - a slower, percussive style traditionally performed with vocals, kayamb and roulér, and associated with ritual, resistance, and later, political activism.
