About the Event: Festival Fam Océan Indien
FAM ENA SO VALER!
Women will be honoured on 1 July 2023, during the Festival Fam Océan Indien. This unique event will bring together an array of artists and entrepreneurs at the Domaine de Labourdonnais - all women! Mauritian culture as well as that of Madagascar, the Seychelles, Rodrigues and Reunion Island will be represented by highly sought-after artists. Girl power!
Organised by Sharp Eleven Events, Festival Fam Océan Indien aims to promote musical exchange between the islands of the Indian Ocean. 100% FAM, this festival has been conceived by women and is particularly aimed at women but not only.
Most of the artists will be accompanied by female musicians who will set the stage on fire with an exceptional performance that is beyond expectations. It will be the perfect opportunity to see them sing live, during the Fam Océan Indien Festival. And to keep you entertained, 7 DJettes with different styles will be on the decks.
To the delight of the public, there will also be an area dedicated to local artisans/entrepreneurs to showcase their talents and products. In addition, there will be wellness areas and beauty corners as well as fashion and ready-to-wear areas with exhibitors if you want to do some shopping.
The Festival Fam Océan Indien has thought of everything as there will be a Food Corner to allow you to discover unique dishes. The little ones will also have fun during the event - animations, demos and activities will be on the programme.
A day full of surprises, wonderful discoveries, fun and music. See you at the Domaine de Labourdonnais on 1 July for the Fam Océan Indien Festival.
The festival also supports two NGOs, SOS FEMMES and LINK TO LIFE, to which the proceeds of the festival will be used to provide financial aid.
The event is free for children under 12.

About the artists:
Kalipsxau
In July 2020, we discovered the beautiful voice of Kalipsxau on an acoustic cover of Toulou’s song “Oh Maria”. This cover paved her way to success with the video gaining more than 800k views to date. After the success of “Corps à corps” (15 million views on YouTube), “Solo” (11 million views on YouTube) and “Dis-moi je t’aime” (7.5 million views on YouTube), this young artist who comes from the heights of St-Leu (Réunion Island), now presents her new song “Kolé”. This new song should undoubtedly have the same destiny as her last hits.
Caroline Jodun
This talented artist became known mainly through her duet with Christopher Goolamsing of Nas T Black, entitled “Femme amoureuse”. Caroline is described as a singer with a soft and melodic voice. She started her career as a backing singer with several island singers such as Mario Justin, Clarel Armel, Alain Ramanisum and Cassiya.
With this experience, Caroline Jodun took the lead in launching her first solo album, Leker Souffert, which propelled her to the forefront of the music scene.
Melanie Peres
Melanie Peres is a writer, teacher, musical theatre author, composer and singer. This talented artist has one album to her credit and can be considered a funny and rebellious woman. She is known for her breathtaking energy on stage.
Marie Josee Clency
Marie Josee Clency is a renowned singer in Mauritius. Over the years, she has become an iconic figure in the world of sega with her famous hits such as “Tora Tora” and “Reprends mo mari”. Moreover, her career has lasted for many years and she has notably evolved alongside her companion Roger Clency who often accompanied her on stage. Roger Clency sadly passed away in January 2016.
Missty
Missty sings everything, from sega to variety songs, from jazz to blues. But Sega is where she forged her reputation, starting at the age of 14. Moreover, thanks to the group Multiforce, she won the “Palmarès Découvertes de Saint-Paul” competition in 2001.
Missty’s voice has been featured on a dozen albums by singers from Reunion Island. The Réunioneses consider her to be the princess of sega. She has several hit songs such as “Meddley péî” and “Si un jour”. She also has more than 6.2 million views on youtube with her song ‘Vilain manièr.
Tazou
Marie Anastasia Perrine, better known as Tazou, is a singer who is well loved by the new generation. Tazou has been singing since she was a child and has also participated in numerous competitions such as Star in 2009. Not only was she born in Mauritius but she grew up in Rodrigues. It is after “Les mwa kontan twa” that she joined Lyonsquad. Tazou is a rising star in the Mauritian music scene.
Antoinette Dodin
Antoinette is a Seychellois singer and musician. At the age of only 5, she triumphed in “The Zecchino D’oro” in Italy, her first singing competition.
She has performed in many hotels and music festivals in the Seychelles as well as abroad. In 2008, Antoinette released the album of the year in Seychelles, entitled “Lamentation”.
The Seychellois artist also works as a music coach. Three of her famous songs, “Ede Maler”, “Anzela” and “Leve Debourye”, have amassed thousands of views on YouTube and other platforms. In 2010, her hit “Anzela” spent six weeks at the top of the Tropic FM Top 100.
Tiana
Tiana is Madagascar’s musical gem. Her voice, her songs and the charisma she exudes leave no one indifferent. A talented singer-songwriter, Tiana has several awards to her credit.
She has already released five albums, performed at the Olympia in Paris and represented Madagascar at the Babel Med Music in Marseille in 2008. She was awarded the Gatsisara prize in 1996 (the Malagasy Victoires de la Musique) and was elected woman of the year on her island in 1998: she is certainly a very talented singer but she also has a beautiful personality.
Vanessa
Vanessa is one of the few female artists on the Mauritian electronic scene. She was quickly noticed by local event organisers for her particular style of techno music.
She is always present when big international bands perform in Mauritius and she has been able to learn a lot that could help her in her career. Vanessa can easily adapt to any party and any audience as she masters several styles, namely deep and groovy music as well as dark techno.
