Description:The author writes: "Seychelles - a thousand miles away from Africa, lost in mid-ocean and shrouded in mystery. The Great Kubla Khan thought it was a gigantic bird. Other explorers like Marco Polo came to Seychelles and told of its beauty, it was called Ile d'Abondance. The English and French fought over the islands. Slaves, brought over by the first settlers who were French were mostly from Africa. The dances and songs we call 'Sega' today are a heritage from Africa. The sega is usually composed spontaneously and is a form of folklore or oral literature. Sega of Seychelles is composed similarly, following closely the pattern of the sega; keeping to local idioms and attitudes. It also relates about the traditional way of life which is dying out and about local beliefs, customs and folklore. It also gives insight into the social and historical background of Ile d'Abondance."The sections is italics and in quotes are direct quotes from actual segas in Seychelles.This book will prove invaluable to the study of oral literature in the secondary schools and universities.As Hazel Mugot, de Silva has published a novel The Black Night of Quiloa with EAPH.(From the back of the book cover)We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
