Festival Lassiry Hip-Hop
Hip-hop · Conakry, Guinea — Paris, France
The festival
Conakry branched the plates, Paris replied: Guinea hip hop is seen on both sides of the ocean. Guinea hip hop, born under the name "Lassiry Graffiti" and became "Lassiry Hip-Hop" at its 6th edition (2024): rap, dance, DJing, graffiti, formation and citizen engagement. Founded by Lefa, it is carried by the NGO Guinea Challenge — Commissioner General: M'Baye Aïssatou Fall — in collaboration with La Place (Paris).
In 2026, the festival was played in two stages, from Conakry to Paris, around a citizen theme: road and rail safety. In 2026, Lassiry played in two stages with "Connect & Create", the joint project of Lassary and La Place (Paris), a Conakry bridge 的 Paris announced on October 22, 2026 by La Place. In Conakry (28 October – 1 November): French-Guinean creation residence, training, professional meetings, conferences and graffiti, with the grand concert of November 1 at Petit Sory Stadium.
In Paris, La Place (4 – 7 November): three concert evenings — on 5 November, Vicky R and Opinel XII; on 6 November, Thiird and Tizzy Miller; on 7 November, Shayne, Miss Kala Kala and Kakilambé — two conferences (on 5 November: the discovery of Guinean music against algorithms; on 6 November, "Rep Guinean generation", documentary by Niariu), an exhibition graffiti on 4 and 5 November in La Place and a fresco on 6 November at Spot 13.
The joint creation of the artists of the two scenes — on the Guinea side: Thiird, Miss Kala Kala, Gado, Alkaline and Opinel XII; on the French side: Vicky R, Tizzy Miller, Shayne, Remy Uno and Heng — will lead to a project of 4 pieces.
