After some investigation, I have realised that Mauritian Artists can be defined or grouped in many ways. There are off the top of my head:

1 dead ones particularly pre-independence ( 12th March1968)
2 those who were alive and working at the time of independence.
3 There are those who live in Mauritius but who's family paid for them to go and study in Western Europe or the US.
4 second generation Mauritians who's parents emigrated and grew up with free or subsidised University education
