Damn… rip… so many talented musicians gone too soon. I wish the riff between Fally and Alvarito never happened. Alvarito brought flavor to fally’s music. You can definitely tell now in fally’s music the guitar compositions and energy are not the same.

Agree @ bigbodybeats - Fally’s generiques fell off the moment Alvarito left and hasn’t recovered really. I hope Fally comes through for a tribute or support

That run B52 had between Kosa Leka, Orignal, and Libre Parcours was legendary. Now we hear this unfortunate news not much after that period… life changes so fast. Libre Parcours 2 specifically remains my most memorable générique since the 2010’s.

He was great with Wenge Kumbela on accompaniment later with Pierrette Adams

What was the exact reason they fell off? I heard Alvarito apologized but Fally didn’t care? It was as if Fally couldn’t reconcile with him? When the “Control” album was released it was apparent as ever that alvarito’s signature sound was GONE. Felly Tyson and the rest of the guitarist do a wonderful job, but songs like canne sucre, Aimè Moi the guitar melodies are not highlight enough almost sounding muted.

i dont think there was directly problems between him and "nsiabamfumu" like he called his friend fally,but rather the influence of staff and all that,over the fact he went to play in studio for heritier and deplick and nearly joined wata on permanent basis,something similar happened with kasangidi just that he was more patient in trying to beg out his case as he did not travel with deplick,late alva then doing what is funnily enough the worst thing in our music in sort of saying fxxk it i am his friend first and foremost i aint gonna ridicule myself-(look at fabro vs ibra but na filet for example to understand that point) when he saw that his first attempts needed some extra extra work

Yup you guys are right, remember the original control génériques that were leaked before Alva left and they ended up scrapping the whole Generiques because he was gone

Why would he collaborate with Deplick and Heritier as an active member of F'Victeam? That's almost treasonous, those are rival bands. Unless Fally or the group's chef d'orchestra gives you direct authorization to do so, it seems like a huge gamble.

How come he wasn't able to integrate with Team Wata? I remember seeing a couple videos of him rehearsing with the band and he even played guitar on some songs for Heritier's album, but he never became officially a member.

those collaborations were after he left/was forced out,heritier tried to convince him to become a permanent member but he was always taking a step back because he promised himself that outside of his friend fally's band he would not be part of an official band again unless he returns there,hence why  he also rejected koffi wanting him to rejoin quartier latin officially this time

i watched few hours ago a video of his close friend equaliseur who explained that they both had problems when they dated european and american women which lead to them going to sort papers,late alvarito did not plan to leave but happened to have felt forced to,virginie tried because of how our journalists operate depending of their tendencies/preferences to get him to insist on fally being jealous of them and stuff like that but he dodged it quick and stayed focused on his talk,and said that he had tried multiple times to rejoin the group but was either made to make an apology video to rejoin the band without anything happening,being told he is not allowed even in the perimeter near rehearsals and various other humiliating scenes,and it lead to him being depressed and it caused blood sugar and pressure issues,when they decided to ponctually work together him late alva and bouro he'd sometimes be unable to come and record because he does not feel his arms or legs and he thanked jp kys who contributed a lot helping late alva sometimes up to doing the bare minimum as a grown father or inviting him to session work to make him get paid and so on
they tried knocking the door of his ex group for support but got ignored so it would not make sense for people to put pressure on his ex group to bury him at all costs  if when they could have been there for him human relationships decided it was not worth it because of x y z
he said although late alva was slightly older they got along so well and alva was not the type to create problems he was just a chill guy who wanted to do what he did best which was playing guitar

Alvarito should have joined Team Wata. I don't understand this blind loyalty to Fally, Alvarito is a grown man with children and responsibilities; if there's an opportunity to protect your income from donors as a guitarist for a rival group that tours, you have an obligation to take that job.

I understand he's got love for Fally, but Fally is a vastly different man from the one he knew from Droit Chemin to Libre Parkour. He's simply too big to pay attention to you, so make yourself big enough to enter Fally's radar by being a great soloist for Team Wata and exploit Heritier's relationship with Fally to repair the relationship behind the scenes. Alvarito would have been in a much better position to do so with Heritier and staff behind him than as a session guitarist.

Wow… so basically kicked out for nothing…. Fally supports heritier now…

the paradoxal thing in the way the relationships especially when the group members are friends of the boss evolve is that back in the years i remember fally saying that there was literally presidents of countries and big authorities like that asking him to take good care of him and then him telling them that he is a childhood friend and all that but fast forward success gone exponential none of this authorities might have been able to force him back in the group or in a farewell trip to europe,this applies to most of our big names

This is so sad to watch. He’s clearly in deep pain with the pastor giving a bunch of false hope, but I doubt he had other options at that moment. Maybe outside of DRC his ailments would have been identified by medical tests

DRC Pastors are out here playing demi-gods because the governmental and civil structures are too weak and poorly managed for the common people to rely on

this image gave me flashbacks of late guy digital who had that same lost confused look on his face who was brainwashed to reject all the hospitals his brother booked for him because he'd find the solution in church,these guys have ruined families like that
not too long ago comedian mpaka lowi lost a children because they had to go to pastors first before hospital

He was in Denver for a bit around 2016-17, but the label and his donors that initially supported him when he left F’victeam disappeared from him. With the paper situation he had to return. I don’t recall if he ever returned to Europe after leaving the band

How come Fally forgave Gecamine Kasangidi and bring he back to Europe but Alvarito wasn't so lucky? It's so insane how things quickly went bad for him after leaving F'Victeam, it shouldn't have ended like this for him, Alvarito deserved so much better. He should have committed to Team Wata.

yeah heritier offered him money even to join but he refused and we even saw him once mess up his "test" on purpose,even ferre at some points there was ferre donors wanting him to join with a car and some money as incentive he said no he'll even play in studio to ferre for free one song if he is contacted but he promised himself he'd be member of only the group of his friend fally,loyalty did not give him the best payback

After Fally's Bercy, Alvarito should have made the  permanent move to Heritier or Ferre. That's like 2-3 albums released without you, Fally's never accepting you back. What even went wrong between them, if they're friends why was impossible for reconciliation?

The same Heritier that dropped Japonais over something minor?? Alvarito’s style would’ve never suited Ferre. That would’ve been like Flamme Kapaya joining Bcbg

He'll adapt, my issue is that you lose access to donors if they believe you to be unfocused
