Renowned artist Habiyambere Jean Baptiste, popularly known as Bahati Makaca, has announced the upcoming release of his new series "Diaspora," which he has been working on for nearly two years with an investment exceeding 13 million Rwandan Francs.
Bahati, famous for his
roles in films like 'Mbaya' and 'Zero 2 Life,' has been absent from the music
and film scenes for a while, focusing instead on his YouTube channel, where he
shares his analysis on various topics. His return to cinema with "Diaspora"
marks a significant comeback.
In an interview with
InyaRwanda, Bahati revealed that he began working on this series right after
his wedding. He mentioned that the story revolves around a young man named Devu
who is romantically involved with two women: France, who lives in Rwanda, and
Duce, based in the United States. Both women are unaware that Devu has proposed
to each of them.
The plot thickens when
Duce returns to Rwanda for her wedding with Devu, only to tragically pass away
shortly after her arrival. This event sets off a chain of revelations and
conflicts, culminating in France discovering Devu's deceit. Bahati emphasized
that the series is rich in drama and emotion, showcasing the complexities of
love and betrayal.
"Diaspora"
features a mix of established and new actors, including Bahati himself, who
plays Devu, alongside Ozil, Selemani D'amour, and Claudine, among others. The
series was filmed across various locations, adding to its production cost of
over $10,000. Bahati has set July 27, 2024, as the official release date and is
in discussions with several platforms to ensure a grand premiere.
The film will be released on July 27, 2024
