Grup Abaim, a music workshop

Since 1988, the music workshop has set up a musical group, the grup Abaim. It performs in a repertoire of its own and has even been able to produce six albums. This platform has served to sensitize the public at large as to the capacity of the Blind Person to participate fully in creative works. It has prompted the public at large to recognize the need for the Blind Person to be considered as a person of worth and dignity.

During the last years, with an extraordinary input from the children of the Saturday Care project, the grup Abaim has become one of the most popular musical groups of the country. Its contribution to the Mauritian children’s tales and folk songs conservation and dissemination work is now notorious. The work produced is also considered as pedagogical materials.

One important feature of the musical group is that all funds collected through musical performances and sale of cassettes/CDs go directly to the association’s fund. All musicians are ‘donors’ of their collective musical works to the association.
