The "La Guinée Notre Paradis" project, which translates to "Guinea, Our Paradise", aims to celebrate Guinea's rich cultural heritage and natural beauty. The first two installments of the project have garnered significant attention, with over 6 million views on the first clip and 3 million views on the "L'Hymne de la Renaissance" video. Ablaye Mbaye's vision is to portray Guinea as a paradise on earth, showcasing its vibrant culture, stunning landscapes, and resilient people.
What sets "Acte 3" apart from its predecessors is its participatory nature. For the first time, the public will have a say in the project's content. Fans can suggest artists they'd like to see feature in the upcoming video, as well as highlight traditional Guinean textiles, dances, and iconic locations. This can be done by commenting on a video message shared by Ablaye Mbaye.
