Kaya Freeman stands as the first major tribute compilation to KAYA following his death in February 1999. The title "Freeman" — KAYA's own seggae nickname reflecting his identity as a free man — is both a memorial and a declaration. The participation of Philip Thomas on trumpet is notable, as Thomas is one of the key figures in contemporary Mauritian jazz and world music.
