There's no better way to launch 2026 than with pure reggae, seggae, and ragga vibrations pulsing through the tropical night air. On Saturday, January 3, 2026, Le Suffren Hotel & Marina in Grand Baie transforms into Mauritius' most authentic musical celebration as Morivibes Party brings together three legendary Mauritian artists for an unforgettable live concert. Tian Corentin, backed by the powerhouse Otentik Groove band, delivers seggae heritage with pride. The Prophecy, led by Murvin Clélie's emotional vocals, brings fan favorites like "Lamur Vre" to passionate life. And Blakkayo, the self-proclaimed "Seggae Ambassador," promises a "big big faya" of reggae-infused island rhythms. This isn't a typical New Year's beach party with generic DJs. It's a 100% live celebration of Mauritian musical identity, where seggae continues ("Seggae Kontinye"), where culture meets consciousness, and where "Love n Respect" flows through every note until 2 AM.

The Seggae Legend: Understanding Mauritius' Musical Heritage
What Is Seggae?
Before diving into the lineup, understanding seggae is essential. Seggae is Mauritius' original music genre, born when reggae rhythms met sega, the island's traditional Creole folk music characterized by the ravanne drum. Pioneer musician Kaya (Joseph Réginald Topize) created seggae in the 1980s, blending Bob Marley's conscious reggae messages with Mauritian Creole language and sega's rhythmic foundation.
Seggae represents:
- Cultural pride: Mauritian identity expressed through music
- Social consciousness: Addressing inequality, unity, and love
- Island soul: Unique sound found nowhere else on Earth
- Resistance and celebration: Balancing struggle with joy
When Morivibes declares "Seggae Kontinye" (Seggae Continues), it's not just a slogan but a commitment to keeping this cultural treasure alive for new generations.
The Legendary Lineup
Tian Corentin with Otentik Groove
Tian Corentin stands as "a true treasure of the Mauritian musical heritage," carrying forward the seggae torch with authenticity and passion. Accompanied by Otentik Groove, his backing band known for tight rhythms and live energy, Tian delivers performances that honor tradition while keeping the sound fresh and relevant.
Expect:
- Deep Creole lyrics celebrating Mauritian culture
- Groovy basslines that make movement inevitable
- Authentic instrumentation including traditional ravanne percussion
- Songs that connect generations of Mauritian music lovers
Tian's presence ensures the concert grounds itself in seggae's roots while looking forward to its future.
The Prophecy: Emotional Power
Led by Murvin Clélie's powerful and emotional voice, The Prophecy delivers seggae with soul-stirring intensity. Their hit "Lamur Vre" (True Love) has become an anthem across Mauritius, sung at gatherings from beach bonfires to wedding celebrations.
What sets The Prophecy apart:
- Murvin's vocal range and emotive delivery
- Lyrics addressing love, life, and social realities
- Fan interaction that turns concerts into communal experiences
- "Maybe even a few surprises" promised for Morivibes 2026
Get ready to sing along as The Prophecy transforms individual listeners into a unified choir celebrating island consciousness.
Blakkayo: The Seggae Ambassador
No seggae party reaches completion without Orizinal Blakkayo, who proudly carries the title "Seggae Ambassador." His promise of a "big big faya" filled with reggae, seggae, and ragga guarantees the concert's most explosive moments.
Blakkayo brings:
- High-energy stage presence and crowd engagement
- Deep reggae influence mixed with Mauritian flavor
- Ragga (dancehall reggae) elements adding contemporary edge
- Unwavering commitment to seggae's cultural mission
When Blakkayo takes the stage, expect the energy to peak, the dancing to intensify, and the celebration to reach its most euphoric heights.
DJ Set by Dilan
Between live sets, DJ Dilan maintains momentum with carefully curated mixes spanning reggae classics, contemporary seggae hits, and ragga bangers. His role ensures seamless transitions between artists while keeping the dance floor packed throughout the seven-hour event.
