THE AFRICAN DREAM
Talent-Spotter
PRESENTS THE AFRO PEPITES SHOW
THE THREE 2024 PEPITES
13th edition of the Selections of the African Dream!
The great discoveries identified by the committee and the web users!
The AFRO PEPITES SHOW is the 1st Arts Market online (e-Arts Market)
We have widened our communication networks and “agitated” the artists on the Internet to harvest a new artistic bunch dedicated to:
- Professionals of culture willing to highlight new talents (media, managers, producers, publishers, organizers, distributors, booking agencies…)
- Internet users interested in discovering new cultural trends.
This year the Listeners’ committee has discovered 158 projects.
It has short-listed 12 projects which have made a difference thanks to their originality, their quality and/or their commitments. Then, Internet users voted to support their favourite project!
This result is the fruit of a collaborative selection: 158 participants - 5 committee members - 10 finalists - 1152 votes - 3 pepites.
| Thank you all for your participation |
| ENJOY THE DISCOVERIES AND SPREAD THE WORD |
THE NEXT CASTING will mark the 14th edition!
Next registrations from 01/03/2024.

It's a fascinating mix that has earned Maherisoa a place of choice in the Grande Île's cultural landscape. Although in his early years the artist was influenced by Japanese manga culture, he soon freed himself from drawing. His technique embraces a wide field, from painting to sculpture. He draws on the mysticism of his homeland, and sacred beads, talismans and other artefacts now haunt his work...
