Natty Hô mix on Gilles Peterson Worldwide (GPWW983)

“Commonly known as the ‘blues’ of the Indian Ocean, Séga is the traditional music of Mauritius, born out of the slave trade from the 17th Century onwards. Seeking relief from harsh conditions in sugar cane fields, workers would dance to improvised music incorporating rhythms from their homelands in West Africa, Mozambique, Zanzibar or Madagascar. Though initially looked down upon, by the mid-1960s séga had become a symbol of national pride and identity for Mauritius and went international, once mixed with the funk, soul and jazz influences of the age.
To celebrate séga’s rich sound and history, Strut and DJ duo La Basse Tropicale have pulled together a collection of sounds from the 70s titled Soul Sok Sega. To mark its release, one half of said duo – Natty Hô – has put together a 30 minute mix of sounds from the Indian ocean.”
