Background notes
Archive material and source history
Petit Richard formed in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo in the early 2000s, led by vocalist and composer Richard Nganguele. The band worked through financial constraints and limited recognition in those early years.
Their 2007 debut album "État d'âme" brought their first real attention, particularly through the single "Le printemps." That song's rhythm and Nganguele's vocals connected with listeners in Congo and elsewhere in Africa.
They've released several albums since, including "Exil" in 2010, "Musique des anges" in 2013, and "Rencontre" in 2019. The lineup has changed at times, with Nganguele remaining the constant figure.
