Ambalaba, Mauritian Sega

I wanted to share a sample of Mauritian sega by famous Claudio Veeraragoo in 1966. This song was taken up twenty years later by French singer Maxime de Forestier… "Ambalaba".

So here's the Mauritian and French versions from Youtube videos, enjoy!

You will notice that the first image from the clip is that of "Chateau de Mon Plaisir" in Pamplemousses Gardens, Mauritius.

Maxime Le Forestier's version
