Kwamé Fényan Bâ (live)
Clubbing Forever will kick-off with a live performance by Kwamé Bâ aka Fényan, a music producer, keyboardist, and professional dancer based in France. For Clubbing Forever, he will be joined by a band onstage! With Senegalese roots and a childhood spent in Martinique (the West Indies), Fényan is deeply connected to the heart of Black music. His story is the epitome of a West Indian upbringing—a Caribbean tale about the Kreyol language, legacy, resilience, and the power of turning victimhood into proactivity.
"Douvan Douvan" translates to "avant-garde" in Kreyol, and it tells the story of a people growing up, confronting themselves and their elders, and finding their path toward enlightenment. It’s a journey of self-discovery and empowerment, shaped by the strength of their heritage and the will to move forward.

As a dancer and choreographer, she has left a lasting impact at Summer Dance Forever and worldwide, inspiring aspiring dancers across the globe.
