Congolese cloth cult: video of "sapeurs"

Following up on an earlier BoingBoing post about the cultural phenomenon of "sapeurs" in Congo ("men who would rather starve than look poor," in the words of one African blogger) — here's some video: Youtube Link to "Les sapeurs de Congo-Brazza." (Thanks Emeka Okafor!) ( posted from Guatemala / Xeni )

Reader comment: Paul Frigon says,

[This video was shot in] Paris, France, in the quartier of "Chateau Rouge" inhabited by many congoleses.
