Raoul Petite

A rock band born in 1979 in Apt, Vaucluse (84), Raoul Petite's original line-up included Christian Picard, Odile Avezard, Fred Tillard, Bertrand Bernardi, Toto Incherman, Denis Bernardi, Maurice Ducastaing and Bruno Huet. Although the line-up changed over the years, the group led by Christian Picard remained steadfast over the years, to the point of being considered the doyen of rock in France. After opening for Pierre Vassiliu and Jacques Higelin in 1980 and 1981, Raoul Petite released their first album in 1984: C'est Sûr Si T'Assures, C'est Pas Dur. These early activities brought the band recognition, and the doors of the Olympia that same year. With a string of albums, including Karaï (1989), Moulé À La Louche (1991), Têt de Krän (1995) and Rire C'est Pas Sérieux (1998), Raoul Petite has built up a substantial discography. But it's above all the energy conveyed in concerts, transformed into real shows, that sets the band apart and develops its audience. After prestigious performances at the Casino de Paris, the Élysée Montmartre and the Bataclan, and over a thousand international concerts, the group presented Ni Vieux, Ni Maître in 2020, which surprised everyone with the longevity embodied by Raoul Petite.
