Celebrating 29 years together!!!

11 September 2023 By Avinash Meetoo Leave a Comment

Today, Christina and I celebrate 29 years of being together (and a little more than 23 years being married). We met in Réunion Island while we were studying and, since then, we’ve always been having fun together.

This morning, we realised that we met when I was barely 21 and she was 19, the exact age our kids are today! This brought back a lot of memories but we also were happy that Anya and Kyan were probably having similar moments without us being helicopter parents and giving them advice (directives?) all day long.

It’s really a wonderful milestone for us and I have to say that Christina has not changed a bit: she is as beautiful (and cool and intelligent) as ever!!!

Looking forward to the next 29 years (at least)!

My latest single: California

16 May 2023 By Avinash Meetoo Leave a Comment

Today, I am releasing my latest Single: “California”.

When I was a 10-years old child, I had a blue sweatshirt with “California” written on it. When I got to visit the state of California in 2011, I was amazed by San Francisco and I really thought that I was going to live there for some time. This did not happen but I’ll always have a soft spot for that city.

For some reason, the working title for this single has always been “California”. I was on the verge of renaming it to something more flashy but I didn’t. The track is electronic in nature but the tempo is relatively slow. I’ll say it has a progressive house and downtempo feel. While listening to it, I feel like walking on the San Francisco piers just after sunset and this is what I have tried to convey in the cover. I like the miniature effect I have used for the photo…

I produced, mixed and mastered California in 2023 in the beautiful island of Mauritius.

Give California a listen when you have some time, leave your comments and feel free to share with others. Enjoy!

Thanks a lot.

RIP Serge Lebrasse, the king of sega

6 April 2023 By Avinash Meetoo Leave a Comment

Serge Lebrasse, one of the greatest sega singers ever in the history of Mauritius, passed away early in the morning today, Thursday 6 April 2023.

I grew up singing songs like “Madame Eugene” and “Banane” with family members. We still do whenever we meet. Many (most?) in the family will be devastated hearing this sad news…

I had the privilege to meet Serge Lebrasse, for the last time, during an event in 2020. He was 90 at that time but we had a nice conversation and we took a few beautiful photos (one of which is above)…

For those of you who would like to pay respect to this monumental artist, you can go to Elie & Sons in Beau-Bassin as from 11:00 today.
