Who is Petite Noir?
Petite Noir’s album La Vie Est Belle/ Life Is Beautiful made some serious waves in 2015. He was actually born in Belgium and his name is Yannick Ilunga but he resides in South Africa and regards himself as a Saffa.
As this interview on True Africa suggest, he is “is riding his Noirwave movement to new heights in a series of electrifying and visually-stimulating shows.”
These are his tour dates. Good luck to him. We need more SA artists believing in themselves and more South African artists touring abroad.
