Zulu was first known when he was singing with the group Blackmen Bluz in 2008. But it was in 2013 that the singer's popularity rose with the release of his first solo album. The album was an immediate success. The single La Métisse, in collaboration with Mario Ramsamy, was voted song of the year on several radio stations. In this first album, the artist talks about his origins with the song Mahébourg, also looks back on the notorious March 2013 flash floods in Port-Louis with Black Saturday or the fate of the Chagossians with the song Diego.
From them on, Zulu becomes a not-to-miss artist. His concerts are crowded. He also performs abroad and becomes the must-see artist of the moment. His next album is highly anticipated and becomes the talk of the town.
But Zulu is an artist who likes taking his time. He finds his inspiration in his native village, Mahébourg. It is while sailing in his boat, because Zulu is a fisherman, that he looks for inspiration for his second album. Intimiste was released in 2016. Authenticity and truthful were important for this second album. The track Pima Ruz, in collaboration with DJ David Jay and singer Nadine Bellombre, sets the mood and demonstrates the artist's versatility.
On this second album, he collaborates with various artists from the Mauritian musical scene. The Clarisse Sisters on Soleya and the tribute to Mandela, Madiba. Jason Heerah brings his dynamism to Seggae Paradise, without forgetting the complicity with the slammer Fanio, with whom he covers Gabriella, first sang wiith Blackmen Bluz. Another highlight of the album is the cover of Menwar's Sizann. Concerts in Mauritius, touring abroad, Zulu is in great demand.
The public will wait another two years before Zulu's new album. This time he produces himself, which makes it more difficult. In November 2018, the singer presents Tango Bluz. Once again, Zulu invites the public to travel. The singer once again collaborated with several artists; Linley Marthe, Philippe Thomas, Thalie Ann, Dave Dario, Jonathan Boncoeur and a promising artist, Anso. We also find Uvi Babajee who co-wrote several pieces and who also does the backing vocals. The latter has been present alongside the artist since his beginnings.
For this third album, Zulu does not deviate from what made the success of these two previous opus. He looks back on his origins with L'exil which speaks of his native village, Mahébourg, speaks of love on Holy Water in duet with Thalie Ann, or of another period of his life with the title Mo ti bato.
Zulu is a singer who has carved a place for himself on the local scene despite the difficulties encountered. The public hopes to find him soon on a fourth album...
