✨ Final taster announcement for Paris Midnight Blues ✨

Our last taster workshop is here: Dancehall with Romane 🔥

Romane is a 32-year-old Dancehall instructor who has been teaching for the past 8 years. She works with community organizations across Seine-Saint-Denis, Seine-et-Marne, and Oise, sharing her passion for dance with diverse audiences.

Born in Jamaica in the 1970s, Dancehall is both a dance style and music genre that has grown throughout the Caribbean before spreading worldwide. In the 2000s, artists like Sean Paul helped popularize Dancehall internationally, including in France.

A codified dance style built around two branches — Badman Style and Dancehall Gyal — Dancehall is fluid, dynamic, and expressive, offering a wide range of movement qualities for everyone to connect with.

What Romane loves most about Dancehall is the balance between body release and movement precision: a mix of freedom, groove, and technical accuracy.

✨ All 3 tasters for Paris Midnight Blues are now announced — which one will you choose?

The music never pauses — it just shifts.

Throughout the night, our DJs keep the energy flowing: between live sets in the boat’s hold, and upstairs with a 100% DJ vibe. From deep cuts to dancefloor favorites, they bring every shade of blues to life.

They’re not just filling the gaps — they’re shaping the whole journey.

We’re introducing them starting with DJ Benjamin, our Master DJ, followed by the rest of the lineup in alphabetical order.

✨️ Ready to dive into Solo Blues? ✨️

We’re so excited to welcome Adamo Ciarallo as a teacher at Paris Midnight Blues 2026. Known for his musical approach, creativity, and deep connection to blues movement, Adamo will guide you through exploring rhythm, texture, and personal expression in the Solo Blues track.

Solo Blues isn’t just about dancing alone — it’s also a powerful way to improve your partner dancing. Working on your own movement helps develop musicality, body awareness, groove, and confidence, all of which translate directly into deeper connection and richer conversations on the dance floor.

Whether you already love dancing solo or you’re curious to develop new tools, expand your vocabulary, and challenge yourself in a supportive environment, this track is designed to inspire and push your dancing further.

Music: Mustang Sally by Sir Mack Rice
Performance during Blues Fever 2022

🔥 BAND : BROTHER YUSEF 🔥
This is the last musician we’re announcing for the festival — and what a way to close the line-up.
Brother Yusef is simply incredible. We’ve been dancing to his music for years, sharing it with our students as one of the essential voices of contemporary blues. His tracks are played on the dancefloors of the biggest international blues events, and welcoming him to the festival feels truly special 🔥

Brother Yusef is a self-taught powerhouse: a master solo guitarist and a deeply passionate vocalist. For more than thirty years, he has forged his own unmistakable sound — Fattback Blues — a raw and gritty fusion of Delta, Chicago, and Texas blues, driven by the unstoppable stomp of Louisiana rhythm. His music is real, visceral, and rooted deep in the soul of the blues.

Armed with just a guitar, he creates the drive of a full band. His right-hand thumb lays down a relentless percussive bass while his fingers weave rhythm and lead, blending traditional fingerpicking and slide guitar with the punch of urban blues, rock, and funk. Every note carries intensity, fire, and total commitment — turning the blues into something primal, alive, and electrifying.

From sanctified churches to juke joints, street corners, and festival stages around the world, Brother Yusef delivers a blues experience that is felt as much as it is heard. A true one-man band, he stomps, grooves, and testifies with every song, pouring heart, grit, and soul into the dancefloor.

We’ve been waiting for this for years — and we are beyond excited to finally welcome Brother Yusef for all three nights of the festival 🔥🔥🔥
