In 1756 the French made a formal claim to the islands. Settlement began in 1778 under a French military administration but barely survived its first decade. A lengthy struggle between France and Great Britain for the islands ended in 1814, when they were ceded to the latter. Seychelles and Mauritius were given to England by the Treaty of Paris in 1814. During the 19th century, chinese and indian tradesmen, together with former slaves settled in the island. They founded their own colony seperated from the Crown in 1903. Seychelles became independant and members of the Commonwealth in 1976 Socialist rule was brought to a close with a new constitution and free elections in 1993. .

Victoria (Mahi) - Culture Victoria is the capital of Seychelles state with almost 115 islands. Tourism is the most important non- government sector of the economy. About 15 percent of the formal work force is directly employed in tourism, and employment in construction, banking, transportation, and other activities is closely tied to the tourist industry. The tourist industry was born with the completion of the international airport in 1971, advancing rapidly to a level of 77,400 arrivals in 1979. After slackening in the early 1980s, growth was restored through the introduction of casinos, vigorous advertising campaigns, and more competitive pricing. After a decline to 90,050 in 1991 because of the Persian Gulf War, the number of visitors rose to more than 116,000 in 1993. In 1991 France was the leading source of tourists, followed by Britain, Germany, Italy, and South Africa. Europe provided 80 percent of the total tourists and Africamostly South Africa and Reunion most of the remainder. European tourists are considered the most lucrative in terms of length of stay and per capital spending.

The Daily Telegraph said, "Adams catches the spirit of the islands, his brilliantly colored silk-screens prints throb with life, pattern, activity and fun. Every surface is worked over again and again with animals, people, rampant vegetation and crisp white buildings..." The silkscreen shown here is 'Anse Royale' presented courtesy of Mango's Fine Art Gallery in Barbados, which exhibits a retrospective of Michael's works.

Taippoosam Kavadi Festival in Seychelles Seychelles is an archipelago of 115 islands located between four and five degrees south of the equator on the western part of the Indian Ocean. It is a paradise of islands floating like tiny gems in the clear waters of the Indian Ocean. It is a little over one thousand miles from India and Sri Lanka in the northeast, from the eastern coast of Africa in the west and from Mauritius in the south. The population is just over 80,000, 90% of whom live on the mainland of Mahe with Victoria as its capital. The rest of the population is spread over in about thirty inhabitable islands. Although recorded history has it that the Portuguese first sighted these islands and French settlers landed in 1770, there is ample evidence to show that Asians such as Arabs, Chinese and Tamils visited these islands during the 15th and 16th centuries. The music troupe brought from Tamilnadu, consisting of nadaswaram and tavil, forms an important part of Taippoosam Kavadi Festival in Seychelles. No Hindu function, religious or social, is complete without this musical troupe. Annual Kavadi procession through Victoria, capital of Seychelles

Seychelles Culture There is no indigenous culture in the Seychelles, but aspects of African origin have survived. The government has formed the National School of Music and the National Cultural Troupe to foster a Cr©ole cultural identity and tradition. The sombre moutia is the typical dance of the Seychelles, with strong African and Malagasy rhythms. The songs are prayers which the slaves turned into work chants, and they're accompanied by slow, repetitive dance routines. The moutia is one of those participatory affairs, where everyone has to get up and join in. Seychellois music is a blend of Indian, European, Chinese and Arabic - accordions, banjos and violins blend with the makalapo , a stringed instrument, the zez , a sitar, African skin drums and the bom , a bowed instrument. Most Seychellois are Catholic and the majority are avid churchgoers, but there is a widespread belief in the supernatural and in the old magic of spirits known as gris .
