Petite Noir is the Congolese musician and artist Yannick Ilunga. Born in Belgium, raised in South Africa, and now based between London and Paris, Ilunga is the architect of Noirwave – a musical and cultural movement that draws creative energy from punk aesthetics and the fragmented identity of today’s African diaspora.

MotherFather is his long-awaited second album, and it has a subtitle: "The darkness is comforting sometimes."
It features production by Dave Sitek of TV On The Radio, CID RIM, Moshik Kop, Tropics, and a guest feature from rising star Sampa The Great, and Grammy- nominated Florida jazz musician Theo Croker.
