Petite Noir, the project of Yannick Ilunga, is the architect of 'Noirwave,' a distinctive blend of post-punk aesthetics with African musical traditions. Born in Belgium, raised in South Africa, and of Congolese heritage, his music explores themes of identity and diaspora with a sound that is both innovative and deeply resonant. A live performance by Petite Noir offers a captivating journey through ambitious soundscapes, rhythmic complexity, and compelling vocals.
