During the 1960s James Brown gained the titles “Godfather
of Soul” and the “Hardest Working Man in Show Business.”
Brown's sound reflected the nation's generational struggle, and his
influence reached across the Atlantic to Bamako, Mali, where his style
and music became a source of inspiration for the growing youth culture.
It was this vibrant culture that Malick Sidibé dynamically
captured through his photographs, leading Dr. Diawara to dub him the
“James Brown of photography.” Learn
