During the last weekend, a BIG two days music festival event was organised in Mauritius for the first time, where the mauritian public was able to discover some emerging foreign musicial talents from Africa, Europe and Asia. Some famous local and regional musician/singers were also able to perform on the same platform which was equipped with high quality sound facilities.
We had the opportunity to hear various music styles (blues, reggae, RNB, rock, funk, soul, seggae, maloya etc...) which were interpreted not only in english and french but also in some local languages and dialects. And it was a real pleasure for NON-COMMERCIAL music lovers to see these artists perform live.
I think it was a successful musical event and hopefully more similar events will come in the future.
However since it was an open air concert, the windy, rainy and cold climate of August (as well as the price ticket) might have discouraged many of us to come and enjoy a wonderful musical moment...
