Seychelles Where History Moves to the Moutya Beat
The Seychelles isn't just stunning beaches! Dive into the islands' rich culture with the Moutya dance. This slow, sensual dance originated with enslaved Africans, a powerful form of expression and resistance.
Moutya comes alive with the hypnotic rhythm of a goatskin drum. Dancers sway and shuffle, voices responding in a call-and-answer format. Sung in Creole, lyrics might tell stories of hardship or celebrate freedom.
Today, Moutya is a vibrant part of Seychellois culture. Witness it at cultural events or join a spontaneous community gathering - a window into the islands' soulful heritage.
