The Group was created in 1988. Its name comes from Cassi, a suburb of Port-Louis (the capital city of the island). It became popular in 1993 with its tape "zenfants perdi simé" that created a real tidal wave.
Its led singer, Désirée François won the "Star Show ‘93" contest organized by MBC, the local TV station, in 1993. Proclaimed as "Group of the Year" in 1994. Since then, Cassiya has gone from success to success with a "Sega" made richer with a variety of very inspired melodies ("Ici cote nou été," in 1995, "Naryé la efasé" in 1997).
Its singers’ fresh and insistent voices that sometimes become tonic have the power of spicing, with Creole sauce, a music made to soothe the heart and inspire to dance.

The song "Separation" by Cassiya speaks about the pain and difficulties that come with separation in a family. The opening lines express a sadness towards a past event that prevented the family from living together in one home. The second verse talks about the consequences of this separation on the children. The children have to move around a lot and may end up in difficult situations, such as having to find food to eat. However, in the midst of these challenges, the song provides advice to the children on the necessity of acknowledging and appreciating each other's importance and being together as a family.
The chorus "la me dan la me" emphasizes the importance of family unity and prayer, which should be a source of strength and courage for the children. The last verse highlights the need for parents to stay together for the sake of their children and to ensure that they do not lose their roots and identity.
Overall, "Separation" is a poignant and reflective song that puts into perspective the difficulties that come with living in a broken family. However, the song also emphasizes the need for and the importance of family unity, support, and acknowledgment.

Nostalgie d’enfance. Ma mère écoutait Cassiya et je n’ai jamais vraiment pris le temps de comprendre les paroles. Aujourd’hui c’est chose faite.
Que Dieu protège les enfants du monde. Amen.
