Abstract
The Mauritian Diaspora is expanding in various parts of the world owing to recent migrations Mauritian artists are promoting Mauritian music and traditions abroad through the diaspora The feet of the wanderer are like the flower his soul is growing and reaping the fruit and his fatigues destroy all his sins in wandering Therefore wander Just like Indians Mauritians have moved almost to every part of the world-Asia the Middle East Australia Africa Americas and Europe- and are often yearning to return to their homeland but may not be able to do so How do Mauritian artistes live abroad Do they still share a link with their motherland once settled in another country How do they express themselves in their songs The main focus of my paper will be centered on these questions where the melancholic expression of the Mauritian artistes will be analyzed and discussed For my paper I have chosen three songs from each of three different Mauritian Bhojpuri artists who have voluntarily settled in a host society I shall be presenting three patriotic songs one from each artist
