In Mauritius, sega is the most renowned type of music and dance. Instrumentation of traditional sega includes a goat-skin covered drum, ravann, maravann and triangle.

The origin of sega is not clear. Most argue that sega music and dance roots are initiated in the slavery era, but history did not establish this facts. Today, Mauritians sing sega as a self-expression. The type of rural music include kawals, Mauritian Bhojpuri songs that traced from the era of contract labour and remained famous in Mauritian localities but are not in existence.
