Mav Cacharel (born January 14, 1957) began performing at age 13 in Brazzaville, Republic of Congo, with his first group Les Ombres.[1] He won the Prix découvertes RFI prize in 1983.[2]
He used the money to move to Paris, where he made a living as a session singer with band Loketo composed of Aurlus Mabélé, Diblo Dibala and Jean Baron.[3]
After singing for various African and West Indian recordings, he recorded his first album Chanti die in 1987. In 1988, he left the group Loketo in order to create the group Kebo.[4]
