MG has worked hard to acquire the aura to break into the second half of the ‘ ‘ nineties ”, even a fairly small space within the newly founded ‘K’Dans’. With which he constituted an ordinary back up for Jude Jean. Training in which he took part in the productions: ” N ap chill ” and ‘ ‘ SOS ”,composing a vocal ” sidekick ” to JJ whose massive influence around the ensemble left him little transparency. Surprising all the same that he did not mention this passage in his musical itinerary on social networks. No doubt contemplating the idea of not having accomplished anything there. Since the next work of the group, it is already absent subscribers. Setting off for New York, in association with keyboardist Carlo Vieux as well as another partner, vocalist-keyboardist Richard Cavé. In short, the “very amigos” quickly found themselves in the “state”, as if they were simmering this collective project beforehand. In any case, in NY Mickael & Co. quickly activated for a new episode.
Leading educational hikes simultaneously. While getting involved in the development of a musical concept that wants to be innovative. In a symbiosis of irrefutable urban sounds, inserted into planetary themes with a strong dose of hip hop. And all the ramifications involved. Supported in this sense by some successful friends like the guys from “Zin” including Alan Cavé who gave them pistons, the studio and other benchmarks essential to get fishing. In addition to the audience of this group which would suitably serve as a launching ground. Like the passage to witnesses of a filiation to a new line. Thus at the beginning of this millennium the trio combined their capacities and abbreviated their names : Ca pour Carlo, Rifor Richard, Mi for Mickael and “CaRiMi” quickly spread like an outbreak.
AND OTHER SOLICITATIONS WHICH SAW HIM COLLABORATE WITH “NEW LOOK”, SHABBA, JOSH X ETC, AMONG THOSE WHO WANT TO GARNISH HIMSELF WITH THIS CASUAL BUT POWERFUL VOICE.
So Mickael Guirand became impatient with his allure of a ‘gangsta rapper’, his ability to harangue, his mouth rushes and a melodious voice imbued with both technical and characteristic features that made him a ” show-man ” Verbatim. In addition to an exalted range stuffed with ” jive ” ; with a tad “off-tempo” which allows it to be the standard-bearer of the new sensation of the hour, the “Carimi”. At the controls of which he is encrusted with a voracious appetite: “Bang bang” . The title of the introductory LP, flanked by his alter egos Carlo and Richard; laying down the titles: Ayiti (bang bang), apiye, player, w’aranje, interlude, I wanna be, pa pale, chagren kriminèl, touman, chavirewhich made the band an instant success. In an eclectic approach which befits the spontaneous audience which is very infatuated with these vibrations alternating between commonplaces and eccentric.
And of which Michael is the catalyst according to a charisma and the exhalation of an infused ” entertainer ”. And the fervor was amplified in the consecutive work: ” Nasty biznis ” , threading the tics and tacts in: chòv, pitit sa a, kidnapping, bò kote w, long distans, in love, go home (tya tya) who confirm him as the flagship of the group. In the light of a climb that propelled him into the peloton of rising stars. With enough credibility to be invited to other large-scale projects. As one of the distinctive marks of “Taboo” in the album: “Taboulogy” ; raising the tone in “ Taboo’s back ”,of its sunny stamp. And other solicitations which saw him collaborate with “New Look”, Shabba, Josh X etc, among those who want to garnish himself with this casual but powerful voice. While “CaRiMi” packs the peripheral scenes; installing Michael as a sovereign orchestra holder.
And the wave continued until the LP: “ Invasion ” which certifies it in its trademark through : mean biznis, nana, chiki boum, kita nago, nostalji elat. In a stage which saw the band in Richard Cavé, Carlo Vieux and MG release their game on the stages of Europe and America; almost rioting on campuses in NY and elsewhere, like the epigone of an audience without borders. And everything seemed to work like in the best of all possible worlds. Until a sudden turnaround, Michael decided to part ways with “CaRiMi”, the group that sublimated him and in which he found his soul as an artist. Confronted with marital problems linked to his musical environment. He decided that the best solution for his well-being was to take a step back from his personal and professional activities; while waiting for the sensations to return. To the point that the group took a bite of “Zin”, “Phantoms” and what was left of the rest of “Lakol”; eclipsing them from their New York stronghold that has become its preserve and competition. And in the meantime, it’s:” RU Ready? ” , Delivering: sak fèt nan CaRiMi, pran pòz ou, sela mpwale, puwa, banm pèmisyon, mpa macho, ru ready?, Which saw the group reach an additional level in its mission to reach other horizons and, as a result, has been able to penetrate a diverse audience that has taken a liking to their tonal incursion. On this momentum, it is the release of : ” Buzz ” , including: we the best, mwen pare, carry me, buzz, mwen dezole, ofisyèl, fèm dakò, konfesyoon, zandolit who keep them on top and Michael in patented star of this group of the hour. Always taking the bottle to the forefront of a formation that begins to creep into the corridors of a global audience.
DANCING IN THE GROUP IS A DELIGHT. NO WONDER HE DRAINED THE CROWDS, BEFORE THE COVID SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT.
Hence the bursting of the “CaRiMi” halfway through a fabulous journey that had barely begun. And the three friends without being: the good, the bad and the ugly each took their way to the chagrin of unsuspected fans. About fifteen years after putting this on. Which is not bad compared to others. Like those stories that never end in the musical family since the dawn of time. So with the breakup at the end of the 1960s of the most famous musical group of all time, the “Beatles” for trivial reasons. We said to ourselves that the heart of the artist has these motives that reason ignores. So much so that we are not infatuated with these inherent tears. In any case, after doing his ” Lennon ” and taking a deserved sabbatical, Michael ended up getting his mind up. To regroup with the support of two cars of the seraglio, such Jean Max Valcourt, Shedley Abraham; as well as a certain Judes Deslouches.
By rebounding within the “Vyab”, which did not take time to win over an audience delighted to find Mickael in : “Game over” , which starts off on hats, mercilessly. At the height of catchy hits: fòm ale, poto, one night stand, kite m Vyab, or pa nan plas mwen, I will do (duo), nan lari a, lanmou fasil, se wè ya wè nou, amwatye, ralanti.Proving that a little break can be beneficial and turns out to be a good stimulus. And that after having reassessed everything, Mickael came out of it increased. As if the ordeals have given him a reassuring and versatile throat. It is therefore wind in its sails that “Vyab” stormed the surrounding music hall. By entering with all your teeth, muscles, and know-how. Always offering tailor-made services. Dancing in the group is a delight. No wonder he drained the crowds, before the covid set the record straight. It is only a postponement, when we have the ” Mike ” for guide; able to put on hot coals with its ” showmanship ” and its singular brand.
