We actively participate in inter-African state and even global arts events, performances and competitions so as to make our group an enterprise playing leading roles in African arts while at the same time, advancing with the world.

EXCLUSIVE CONTENT

With arts reforms and innovation as our driving force, by deepening African arts reformation in its mechanism, optimizing the African entertainment industry structure and improving on our management, we aim at establishing an African modern enterprise system by promoting constant emerging of African fine art works and new talents in African art performances.

ARTISTE MANAGEMENT

We bring forth new ideas into production, propagation, circulation, consumption and investment mode of African art and performance works. This we do by getting through the upstream, midstream, and downstream of the African performance industry so that the core competence of our group can fully and greatly be boosted and appreciated worldwide.

ENTERTAINMENT NETWORKING

Further more, our Group holds on to the principles of “two orientations” (namely the orientations of artistically serving the African people using African democracy of socialism), “double hundred policy” (which contains the meaning that let a hundred flowers blossom and a hundred schools of thought contend), and “three closes to” (that is, close to the reality, close to the life, and close to the common people), and then meet the African public’s increasing demand for spiritual culture and tourism.
