Both Mauritius and Rodrigues are volcanic islands ringed by coral reefs and shallow lagoons. Mauritius was a Dutch, then French, then British colony, and became independent in 1968.
Sega music and dance, led by the ravanne drum, are traditional on both Mauritius and Rodrigues. Rodrigues lies about 560 kilometres east of Mauritius and is drier and windier than the main island.
