Sapeurs of ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Africa

The Fifth Floor

Available for over a year

Earlier this year the famous Congolese musician Papa Wemba died unexpectedly. To his fans he was more than just a great singer songwriter; he was a stylish dresser in what's called the sapeur tradition. Our ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Africa team decided to honour this tradition with their own celebration. Mayeni Jones, Peter Okwoche and Mila Kimbuini start with the basics.
