Looking back on 60 years of Beatlemania

Description

On March 22, 1963, the Beatles released their first album "Please Please Me", rocketing the foursome to international fame. Six decades on, we look at how Beatlemania transformed Liverpool, the northern English town where it all began. We also head to Deauville, Normandy for a diverse collection of work from renowned Vogue photographer Irving Penn. Meanwhile, our team in Dakar has been speaking with 89-year-old Senegalese photographer Adama Sylla, who spent decades capturing stunning images of his hometown, Saint-Louis. After almost a lifetime of flying under the international radar, his work is being shown in Paris for the first time.
