Petit-Pays

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Petit-Pays is a Cameroonian makossa musician. He was the most popular performer in the genre in the late 1980s.[1] His style mixes native Cameroonian makossa with sokous, zouk, and salsa, leading to the portmanteau label of makozouk for the style.[2]
