The bobre is a musical bow traditional in Mauritius and Réunion, particularly the traditional genres, sega and maloya.
It is a long bow, made of wood with a vegetable fibre string, with a calabash acting as a resonator. It is played by striking the string with a stick. [1]
It is no longer used in Mauritian sega but is still popular in Réunion. [1] It is also used in Maloya. [2]
