As we bid farewell to the year 2023, we've put together a compilation of standout titles that have defined the musical landscape in Mauritius.

Jah Mike - Sega Pike

With "Sega Pike," Jah Mike masterfully weaves together tradition and modernity. The singer's infectious rhythms and haunting vocals beautifully celebrate Mauritian heritage while compellingly inspiring dance. A must-have for all your dance parties!

Tii Alexandre - Aroz Twa

A mainstay at Mauritian parties, Tii Alexandre skillfully incorporates a range of influences, from Afro to pop to reggae, in her compositions. In "Aroz Twa," the artist behind the hit "Angela" explores the twists and turns of a romantic relationship with bittersweet lyrics.

Caro - Karma

"Karma" is a hidden gem with a retro vibe, its sensual rhythm reminiscent of 90's reggae. In this instant vacation-evoking hit, Caro's enchanting voice transports us into the heart of an ephemeral love story tinged with "girl power." Indeed, it's the woman who takes the lead here, and karma, a faithful accomplice, deals with a somewhat insistent man!
