Gentlemen of Bakongo, Brazzaville
The Sunday Best pointed me to the photography of Daniele Tamagni who has this great photo story on the Gentlemen of Bakongo, Brazzaville. The most striking aspect of these gentlemen, or Sapeurs, from Congo is their style.
A significant part of this heritage is the “Sape” and the “Sapeurs” (Society for the Advancement of People of Elegance)
…
The “Sape” is an art and the real gentleman have to know the concept of gentleness and good manners related to the inherent moral code of the individual.
