guélor rwinga dirango aka brigade sarbati "hercule la force qui écrase" was born on 22 of june of 1980 in kinshasa, he is father of three children isaac,jeremie and bridget and the children of papa padjou rwinga keps and mama servéline bambu,and is from the region of katanga
during his childhood,he spends his spare time playing football and learning judo,he dreams to be become an electrical enginer but at 14 he gets fed up of school and abandons class to play football with the hope of soon becoming professional,as he is seen as a promising talent by coachs of the youth teams he was in
two years after,,he makes his debut with a 3rd division team of kinshasa and this is where his musical talent is spotted,as he sings and tries to imitation tutu caludji's animations before and after games when their team won and party
he then starts combining tenor singing and tenor animation in street groups but focuses more on football as he dreams to follow the foosteps of african players who succeeded in europe like george weah,kanu ....
but months after joining that team he loses motivation due to the difficult conditions they train in,they play for free whereas he vows to help his parents who are not wealthy,that is when he is introduced in the end of 1996/debut 1997 to smalto dizoizo,a musician based in brussels who comes to kinshasa sometimes
the then nicknamed reagan joins dizoizo's group black story where he shares animation duties with diego cao, and later cellulaire
in 1998 he is tested alongside gentamicine,but both return to their street groups certainly seeing they would be reserves of bill clinton and celeo scram
two years after,as he sees his careers either as musician or as a footballer are not going anywhere,he decides knocking the door of big groups,he starts with zaiko langa langa but his test is not succesful,then tries his luck with the new born wenge tonya tonya of adolphe dominguez,alongside atalakus like diego,kerozene,washington or also the very young petit chirac
after a couple of rehearsals a friend of his who knows where koffi lives and is aware of koffi looking for new atalaku to complement cnn brings him to koffi's house to be tested,a good hundred of atalakus are tested and reagan then is among the 5 guys kept at koffi's house(with kerozene) to be trained and compliment cnn once they are ready
he is the first of them to make a public concert appearance and he impresses,from then he became brigade B52 to mark a difference with petit reagan who is with blaise bula
months after,when cnn leaves the group,brigade is associated to kerozene as koffi tries to replicate the celeo/ bill clinton duo of maison mere
both participate on the second solo album of koffi after birth of academia,album effrakata which is a big hit
they are then taken on all tours in europe,africa and america
two years later,brigade gets the very first song of his career as he is allowed to add the song code pin to group album affaire d'etat and koffi then calls him brigadier sabatini but months after release of album relations turn sour between him and koffi and he leaves the group after american tour
he spends months at home,distraught and uncertain about his future in music,is brought by a friend to rehearsals of cultura pays vie where he is tested but wazekwa does not recruit him due to to bad experience with some ex-quartier latin and strange things happening to them
with the switch of tutu caludji to permanent singing, a place is up for grabs in wenge bcbg and he is tested but is only used rarely due to hostility of fans as bcbg and quartier latin are in conflict
after three weeks in the group brigade is told to stay at home as jb and koffi reconciled(similar situation happening with cnn) and deny any question related to bcbg
in 2004,he goes back to maison mere to knock the door again,and gets a overall decent reaction from the crowd
but overshadowed by roi david,brigade decides to swallow his pride and go back to quartier latin where he comes back with a quite different style of animation and stage antics,which could be likened partly to the ones of his new colleague apocalypse
he participates in single boma nga n'elengi and the generique longitima and shines with the controversial mama pesa sima papa abeta tonga
also participates one year later to group album danger de mort but he misses second europe tour of the year,where the group would record album of the group's chef d'orchestre fally ipupa,as he is suspended following a fight between him and apocalypse
the generique of that album is then changed and given to apocalypse
brigade seeing he is not called back to end his suspension goes back to maison mere,where he is accepted back but is in open conflict with celeo scram due to their future common ex-girlfriend mimi tshikeva
he participates to maxi single sous sol alongside prince,roi david,celeo and kene kene,misses the first european tour but is there in 2007 at elysée montmartre in paris,he impresses so much that he becomes the main atalaku,especially iwith the departure of celeo
he leads the atalaku section which records album temp present in 2008
in 2009 when the group releases album malewa vol 1 he shines again with another controversial animation" sima ekoli"
and throughout his career in maison mere is often criticized for that tendancy of creating too explicit lyrics(not that explicit but adults understand easily what he means)
he is everywhere with maison mere,europe,africa, and really confirms his growing popularity at zenith in 2010 with le le le,noel ngiama analeta mambo and so on
he participates aswell to second part of malewa,suite et fin and also announces with the group ,in various concerts the future release of fleche india,fleche ingeta,with new animations he created
but in 2012 after an incident involving him and singer heritier watanabe(or his friends) he is seriously injured
almost one year after,he announces departure from maison mere and is currently working on first solo album tout va bien

What about Heritiers bio?
yeah i will finish it don"t worry,i have had a bit of trouble ever since doing two biographies at same time so it was bit messed up
but i promise it very soon

Why did Koffi want to pair Brigade and CNN because they sound very similar to eachother. Why did Brigade really leave after Affaire D' Etat? And why did fight Apocalypse?
-
koffi did not pair them for a long time,it was that ocean remained in europe so they needed another atalaku
and then koffi's problems with cnn over a dancer made it easier for him to get exposure with his pire petit kerozene
about him leaving in 2003, i think he was sidelined for claiming something about money,cambodge also left the same time if i remember
that's the version i know,that he wanted some money from koffi and complained for not receiving it and from then koffi ignored him
as for the fight with apoca,competition was tense between them to be number 1 atalaku and one day after insulting each other it ended up in brigade beating apoca and the day they were going on europe tour, brigade was told by chef d'orchestre fally on koffi's order that he was being suspended( since in quartier latin the whole group was going at airport and its there they knew who was on the list or not)

Archos, when did Brigade first join Maison Mere?

Brigade is a good singer. I hope his rumba songs will be worth listening to.
-
Good info archos, thanx alot, now I know why Brigade and Apocalypse don't get along now.
I didn't even know he had passed through BCBG too. JB is really disciplined, he never goes against his principles, he would never again employ any musician from rival groups.

They don't sound similar, Brigade has always been a tenorist ataluku whilst Kerozene has been a falsetto atuluku though he doesn't have a deep voice like his friend Acide Wanzambi who toppled him from the top spot in Quartier Latin.

Sly I'm talking about Brigade and CNN not Brigade and Kerozene.

Oh I see. Even with that pairing, I think you remember in Wenge Tutu Kaludji and Roberto were paired together as the only atalukus and both being tenorists,just one of them things,some atalukus compliment each other irrespective of vocal category.
-
Well I think it dosent sound good if you have two animators sounding alike in the same song. Have two tenor animators on the same song is not bad as long as they have two completely different voices.

Yeah,true

Can someone do a biography of Bebe Kerozene?
-
can somebody perhaps diplomatically translate some of the Brigades more controversial shouts, us non-lingala speakers are curious what all the fuss is about?

Sima ekoli means thr back has grown, wich means that a girl a Sister or a relative that you left little, now has become the object of your sexual desire becuase of how her ass and how her boobs have growth in THIS crie he said even naza mobali nakotikala mobali I am man and I will remain a man which means that as a man If I see a girl with the big booty he described earlier he will do everything to fuck her.
Then mama abeta sima Papa abeta Tonga means, If the girl gives her back the man will put his dick on it, no need further translation l, and then kobeta mayi kobeta mayi butubutu, usually in families with a lot of babies you can do sex only in night time, so kobetamayi means to beat the water, which means to fuck a wet pussy and butubutu means on night so he is basically saying that every night he fucks his wife while she is wet and so on
-
Are there any tapes of Brigade in BCBG's concerts and or songs? You know, I think that even though Brigade grown with Caludji as a model he is more suitable for Celeo's voice, it is like Bill = Kabuya, Caludji = Fusee, Celeo = Brigade

My God!! I have always asked myself the deeper mesning of 'nakosimba mayi nakobeta mayi' literally meaning "I touch water and i beat water' then this guy is dirty!!
If Mimi Tshikeva is older than Allain Mpela then Brigade was fucking a sugar mummy!!

brigade and apoca's beef started when brigade rejoined and apoca who had gained confidence with his monde arabe europe tour was mocking him calling him the wenge reject due to his bad experience in bcbg and maison mere at that time and many other things and one day not to long before their trip it went on brigade's head he literally exploded apoca's lips and one shoulder if i recall well with high kicks only for passe kosse to step in and separate them or it could have been worse,so koffi ordered fally who was making the list to drop him while fally had two ready generiques done with brigade in private

Maybe Koffi preferred to use Apocalypse in Fally's album because he was sensing that Fally wanted to leave, and gave apoca a better role so Fally could have less success.
Imagine Droit Chemin with Brigade and Fally, do you imagine how crazy the people would have gone?
Archors are there any tapes videos or mp3's of the song of Brigade for Fally?
Strangely Fally and Brigade never collaborated again after their own solo career.

brigade could have joined fally after he left werra but they agreed that fally supports him a bit in private rather than risk polemic with werra,and then brigade sent identite to kinda do his role

I don't think Werra would have said something, it is Werrra the guy who left Brigade with no assurance and protection after the Wata affaire, maybe Brigade didn't join Fally because he knew that people would have been happier if he went solo, anyway I would love for a featuring between them two.

How would that cause polemic when Werra didn't really have Brigade's back in the Heritier conflict and him and Brigade were band mattes.
