Kevin Aviance "Din Da Da"

[@psychoshamrock]

Aviance was lucky to survive a broken jaw in 2007 due to a very nasty gaybashing incident. Couldn't perform at Pride parade that year with a wired jaw. This lady has taken a lotta sh*t and is still fabulous.

[@rainbowgoddyss82]

I remember this. I remember seeing him walk around Chelsea (where I believe he was attacked) all the time, in his heels. Without a care in the world. Because he knew he was in a safe space until self hating homophobes decided to be stupid. God bless and protect him. Forever legendary! 🙏💜🙏

[@Ejexion]

You were actually calling him a "lady" 10 years ago?! You're fucked.

[@rossriviello8051]

I remember when that crazy shit happened. Has it been proven that she was targeted for being gay? I always had a gut feeling that someone from the community had a hand in it.

[@null9590]

Just gave a nasty 2 minute hand performance. I love this so much. This is art in it’s purest form

[@kshillingford4921]

the devil is a liar. null indeed.

[@Qu33n]

Thanks to Beyoncé's Pure/Honey, I discovered the gem known as Kevin Aviance!!! But I've always heard this song in Vogue/Ballroom compilations and never knew the musical genius behind it!!! 10s!

[@essjayem6498]

Din Daa Daa (The Album) George Kranz..... Way before this version. Which is pretty good....both of them....really.

[@Qu33n]

@@essjayem6498 oh my gosh thank you for dropping this knowledge! So Kevin's is a cover to George's. All this history happening!

[@essjayem6498]

@@Qu33n Yes. It is amazing. Bey's lyrics are pretty drenched in house history. Love it.

Me either

[@internetrambo4928]

He..she..what ever, is not the musical genius behind it. Its a Cover

[@dariolopez2882]

Watching this 20 years after it was filmed and still in awe at how amazing Kevin was and still is... he paved the way for many

[@DiscoSmokeWV]

Left the White Party early and saw him perform this right in front of me, early Sunday morning at the Palladium. It was without the props in this video, and to this day probably the most impressive solo performance I've ever seen. He was a staple at Jr's Arena at Palladium, and I enjoyed every performance he shared with us. Thank you Kevin!!

[@michaelbruno1330]

That was like 1996 or 97!

[@TheHollywoodList]

I remember him from SoundFactory

[@nickH2009]

I love that people feel the need to leave comments stating how "gay" this is.. as if he didn't know. anyone who is this comfortable and brave with their sexuality is fully aware of all the labels that may or may not be true for who they are.

Again not the original, George Kranz look it up

I saw him "WORK" the crowd at the GLBT Expo and words just can't describe the talent that Kevin shared with us....Mother was FIERCE!!!!

[@principe401]

Kevin rules. This was ArenA craziness. He was the hostess of every Saturday into Sunday and mind f***** my head up with his performances. There is no one like him on the planet. Also I remember him performong this at Palkadium and they used lights I have never seen before. Ahhh to go back and appreciate that moment better. Xoxo to all that know what im talking about

[@1730michele]

Huuuuunty!!!!!! I did not know who sung this but I loved it when I was going to the clubs. It's now 2022 and here in Baltimore, when it's house music time, they play the hell out of this. You deserve all the praise

[@cryingzombie]

This is why I'm glad I don't judge people. good remake of a classic

[@임형규-f5b]

So passionate and energetic, appreciate and respect drag culture and vogue beats, dope song

[@TheMocaLeenie]

I still love the drop! I remember the club erupting at that point, with everyone feeling the soul in it.

Wow, the artistic part was off the chain, and with one of my favorite songs.

[@rossriviello8051]

I went to a concert sponsored by a NYC radio station on Long Island in June 2023. Kevin Aviance was one of the guest hosts, looking ss fierce as ever.

[@FredericaBimble]

I remember dancing to the original in the club back in the '80s. This is a good remake. I also remember the DJ playing 'Front 242's' 'Welcome to Paradise' which had a sampling of that hypocrite preacher Jimmy Swaggert in it. Great tune.

[@romyv1077]

One of the reasons why Roxy is so much fun every Saturday. Kevin is an ICON, before Drug Race their is KEVIN!

[@jaumais01]

Such. Amazing. Memories. Saw Kevin Aviance perform this (and Cunty) live.

[@beledigrrl]

I get so proud of the beauty of black queens when I see this! This is amazing :)

[@thewoolf]

hey kids Kevin did a great version of this song! the original of this song is from 1984 from a german musician: Din Daa Daa by George Kranz there is a musicvideo on youtube as well

Que chingona rola y está versión es súper...bravaaa 👌👏

[@poetofreason]

I for one am not a gay guy on drugs....i have neither tantrums nor do i suffer from outbursts and I enjoyed this very much. I think that some old people age with a young heart while others forget to enjoy the simple things in life, one of which is art. at 29 years of age I found this to be both simple, yet entertaining, mainly because it took me back to a time when things were a bit more simple than they are today. Think back to when this song first came out, and compare things today. you'll see

[@lambastedpolemic]

Never get's old...great song!

[@DetroitLives313]

Memories of partying at Second Story in Center City Philly in 1985! Partied at the Palladium in NYC in the 80s too!

[@screwface1011]

MAN!!! We use bang the hell outta this right here. I mixed it so many different ways I can't even remember. Thanks for posting this.

[@TheOneSymphony]

Miss Aviance slayed this out of existence but totally off subject, at 2:52 the background high pitched vocals remind me of Sonic 2s Chemical zone. . .maybe Masato Nakamura was inspired by that who knows

[@miachaymang2444]

BAHAHAHA!!!! I FINALLY FOUND THIS VIDEO AGAIN!!! I HAVE BEEN WATCHING THIS SINCE I WAS 3!!!

[@ashabrewer9960]

For all of you that don't know, this song was created by legendary House Music DJ and music producer George Kranz in the 80's.

[@JogaOhio]

You know it's sad people have to bash everything they watch. I used to go to ARENA (at the Palladium) every week and see Kevin work this song into a FRENZY, which was more than this video. The video is fun and a great way to showcase some of his talent. Kevin is an amazing artist with a passion for music, fashion, and dance and should be celebrated not bashed! His songs are full of energy and fun and if you can't appreciate it don't watch it!!!!
