From Wikipedia

Sega (French: séga) is one of the major music genres of Mauritius and Réunion. It is a complete performance art, involving music, story-telling and traditional dance. Musically, the most modern forms common in Mauritius are its fusion genre seggae and bhojpuri variations, whilst Réunion also features maloya, the latter being much closer to the older, typical music influences originating from Madagascar. The variety of different sega forms is reflected in the multi-ethnic populous of the indigenous population of Mauritius.

Sega (traditional Mauritian sega, sega tambour Chagos, sega tambour of Rodrigues Island) has been included in UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage lists.
