Gentlemen of Bacongo>>>

On Thursday evening the exhibition space at the Londonewcastle gallery played host to the book launch of Daniele Tamagni's 'Gentlemen of Bacongo'. Many people have tried to document the cultural phenomenon that is going on in Congo. But I think this book does a pretty good job of explaining how amazing it actually is. For these guys style comes before literally anything else...

As great as these pictures are it's still important to remember Congo is a country with serious issues.
