Petit Pays (Petit
was his nickname when he was a child, Pays is the
litteral translation of his surname Moundy) has been renewing makossa from his present
residence in Côte d'Ivoire. Reducing instrumentation to a minimum, blending it with zouk
rhythms, he is incredibly popular on the Cameroonian dance floors. The often (sexually) explicit
lyrics of his songs were sometimes cause for controversy among the Cameroonian public,
and the fact that he figures almost nude on his album Class F contributed to his ambiguous status.
For the male public in Cameroon, there was a cassette Class M, where he is a bit
more covered... Now that he has reached stardom, he is not only in charge of his own band Les Sans Visa, but he is also supporting a group of young musicians Les Anges de Petit Pays. Both bands bring out CDs under their name, in addition to Petit Pays' solo albums. Born: as Adolphe Claude Moundy dit "Petit" Style: makossa-zouk. |
