  • Petit Pays (* 5. Juni 1967, eigentlich Adolphe Claude Moundi) ist ein kamerunischer Sänger. Petit Pays wuchs ohne Vater auf, was sich besonders in den Texten seines ersten Albums widerspiegelt. Zwar sind Petit Pays' Texte zum Teil skurril, und seine Arten der Selbstpräsentation, wie das Nacktposieren für ein Albumcover und der Auftritt in einem weißen Sarg am Anfang eines Konzerts, mag auf einige befremdlich wirken, jedoch ist er in Afrika besonders dafür beliebt, dass er zum Tanzen verleitende Musik schreibt. Sein Musikstil besteht aus einer Mischung des kamerunischen Makossa und der Musikrichtungen Soukous, Zouk und Salsa. Petit Pays singt hauptsächlich dualasprachige Lieder. (de)
  • Adolphe Claude Moundi, alias Petit-Pays, né le 5 juin 1967 à Douala, capitale économique du Cameroun, est un chanteur, auteur-compositeur camerounais. Surnommé Le Turbo d'Afrique, L'avocat défenseur des femmes, Rabba Rabbi, Effatta ou encore King of Makossa Love, Petit-Pays chante en Douala, en français, et en pidgin sur le makossa et le zouk (baptisé Makossa Love). Son nom d'artiste provient de Petit qui était son surnom quand il était enfant et Pays qui est la traduction littérale de son nom de famille Moundi. Petit-Pays est auteur de plus d'une trentaine d'albums. (fr)

  • Petit-Pays (born Adolphe Claude Alexandre Moundi in Douala, Cameroon on 5 June 1967) is a Cameroonian musician. Petit-Pays has over 35 albums to his credit and is the Cameroonian musician with the highest number of songs ever. In 1996, he had sold over 50,000 cassettes the day of the release of his Double Album Class F and Class M. He is also known as Oméga, Rabba Rabbi, Le Turbo d'Afrique, Adonaï, Le Neveu de Jésus, and recently his latest sobriquet of Effatta and famously L'avocat défenseur des femmes (lawyer for women). He is the most celebrated Cameroonian musician of the late 1980s, 1990s and 2000s. His music has evolved over the years adapting to contemporary African genres. He mixes native Cameroonian makossa with soukous, zouk, and salsa, leading to the portmanteau label of Makossa Love for some of his music. He launched his first album Ça fait mal... in 1987, after working with makossa producers. He has a band, known as Les Sans Visas, which has seen several band members moving on to start their own solo careers over the 1990s and 2000s (decade). It includes artists like Jojo Moussio, Samy Diko, Kaïssa Pakito, Samantha Fock, Guy Manu, Njohreur, Xavier Lagaf, Mathematik, Sony 007 and Monny Eka and many other successful Makossa musicians. He gave the name "Sans-Visas" to his band because he was deported from France in 1985 for not having a visa. He is the crowned king of Makossa and the most popular artist in Cameroon. He is known for his sometimes offensive dressing, memorable concerts in Africa, controversial album covers and lyrics. (en)
