Description:

Against the vibrant music of Papa Wemba, this humorous and insightful film explores the hidden world of a striking African cultural movement. Papa Wemba, a renowned Congolese singer, is a prominent figure in Le Sape, a group dedicated to extravagant elegance through designer clothing. The film beautifully captures Papa Wemba's music while offering a unique look at the immigrant experience in modern Europe. The Sapeurs have creatively adapted Western culture to forge a distinctive and uniquely Congolese identity. A highlight is their memorable encounter with fur coats.
