Roger Augustin
Roger Augustin belongs to the recorded history of Mauritian sega, with a repertoire that includes Séga banané and Qui to lé mo fer. His songs appear in a modern PIROS catalogue edition, while scholarship also examines their view of Mauritian society. Together, those records connect an individual singer with the cultural world his songs describe.

Mama picnic
Roger Augustin - TopicMama picnic provides a second Roger Augustin recording from Séga Picnic. Listening to individual tracks keeps his name and repertoire visible beyond anonymous sega compilations.
The Séga Picnic catalogue edition
PIROS presents fifteen tracks under Séga Picnic, dated 2012 in its catalogue. They include Ça qui appelle ena toupet, Séga soulard, Séga banané, Mama picnic, Au bout du monde and Qui to lé mo fer. The date identifies that catalogue edition; it does not establish that all these performances were first made in 2012.
The publisher places the record within its Mauritian sega repertoire. The collection is useful as a named release with individual track credits, rather than an anonymous selection in which songs lose their connection with Augustin.
A song’s picture of Mauritius
In research on historical memory in sega, Bénédicte Anthony discusses Augustin’s Sega Banane as presenting Mauritius as a meeting place of cultures. The paper identifies the song in an earlier historical context than the recent catalogue edition. Its interpretation connects the music with the language through which people describe their shared society.
That approach helps explain why a repertoire of dance songs can also be a historical resource. The songs offer representations of a place and its relationships; their meanings extend beyond the circumstances in which a present-day listener encounters the recording.
