Its followers are known as ?SapeursâÅ (?SapeusesâÅ for women). Most have ordinary day jobs as taxi-drivers, tailors and gardeners, but as soon as they clock off they transform themselves into debonair dandies. Sashaying through the streets they are treated like rock stars ? turning heads, bringing ?joie de vivre? to their communities and defying their circumstances. Traditionally passed down through the male line, many Congolese women and their children have recently begun donning designer suits. As Papa Wemba (1949?2016, Congolese singer and fashion icon who popularized Sape) once said: ?White people invented the clothes, but we make an art of it.âÅ 600 10 $a Zaidi, Tariq. 650 0 $a Fashion photography $z Congo (Brazzaville) 650 0 $a Portrait photography $z Congo (Brazzaville) 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317025418.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0F62E5A671B711EB8A4F4B2E3BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
