Perhaps the wave that cleans our shores in Seychelles is the same one that cleans the ones in Mauritius.
What a beautiful way of expressing how our brothers and sisters in the Seychelles share so much of our history, our culture and our way of life.
Today’s guest is a singer-songwriter from Seychelles. Elijah - meaning Fire Commander - has a unique talent of marrying our two musical cultures and his successful collaborations with the likes of Linzy Bacbotte, Jason Heerah, Blakkayo and Bruno Raya bear testimony to his talent.
My personal favourites by Elijah are “She love me” (featuring Jason Heerah who was on the podcast a couple of weeks ago) and “Coco”.
Thank you Elijah for bringing your Seychellois warmth and charm to us. I hope to be able to tick Seychelles off my bucket list soon!
