The story

Reggae Donn Sa Festival in Flic en Flac/Grand Baie

Reggae Donn Sa is a major reggae and seggae music festival in Mauritius, first held in 2005 and drawing performers from across the Indian Ocean region and beyond, including international headliners connected to the wider reggae touring circuit. The festival sits within Mauritius's seggae tradition, a musical fusion of local sega rhythms and Jamaican reggae associated with the island's Creole and Rastafari culture.

Reggae Donn Sa has run for two decades as one of the most prominent reggae and seggae music festivals in the Indian Ocean, tracing its first edition to 2005 and building a reputation across successive years for drawing large, multi-day crowds to hear Mauritian, regional, and occasionally international reggae acts.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The festival's roots trace to seggae, a genre pioneered in Mauritius by Kaya, the musician whose 1999 death in police custody sparked major unrest and cemented reggae-influenced music as a form of social and cultural expression tied to Creole and Rastafari identity on the island

02

The mystery stays covered

Reggae Donn Sa has built on that legacy for two decades, mixing Mauritian performers with acts from Reunion and Madagascar and, in some editions, international names connected to the Marley family's touring circuit, giving the festival a reach well beyond a typical local music event
