description
Noukilla are five friends from the island of Mauritius who moved to Shanghai in 2005. Whilst working as session musicians and playing cover songs with various bands in the city, they regularly came together to play tunes from their far-away home. • Their unconditional love for music led to the creation of Noukilla (‘Here we are’ in Mauritian Creole). They perform original songs in the uniquely Mauritian styles of Sega and Seggae music, with a touch of jazz. • Originally sung by Creole slaves, Sega music was publicly shunned in Mauritius until the 1960s, but is now embraced nationally and considered the definitive national music genre. In the 1990s, a Mauritian Rastafari known as Kaya infused it with reggae, creating Seggae. Countless contemporary Mauritian musicians, including Noukilla, are influenced by his legacy. • Noukilla make sunny, warm, happy, energetic, feel-good music. • The album cover features the island’s most famous ex-resident, the dodo bird.
