ARTIST/BAND /GROUP INFORMATION
Tidòf emerged in the clamor of the mini generation through which his older brother Albert established himself as a pioneering guitarist with the “Tabou Combo”. And under whose shadow he learned his function as a bassist, a little on the job with a completely improvised touch. To succeed in asserting itself as one of the assets of a group which very quickly conquered the hearts of scholars as well as of the public. But, the music being at this point only a passing hobby for the two brothers who must withdraw under the parental orders, they leave for studies outside. This is how the “Taboo” at the mercy of a sudden ascent must nevertheless dissolve at the dawn of a promising trajectory. And Adolphe on his side took the road to Puerto Rico for professional lessons.
Meanwhile scattered all over the place, the other members gathered in NY. Where under the leadership of co-founder and drummer Herman Nau and the mastery of a prodigious teenage guitarist named Dadou Pasquet, they revived the episode. Between two or three works of reintroduction: ” Canne à sucre ” and ” Respect ” for which Dòf, which is relayed by Yvon Ciné, is absent subscribers. To come promptly to take part in the consecration of the group from the album ” 8th sacrément ” , alternating with Yvon who eventually retired to go into business. It is then that Dòf Chancy will show his colors in a personal style through: ‘ ‘ The masters ” and ” Aki yoko ” (Indestructible ), made of intermittent bursts; inspiring the most pop brand in Caribbean music.
THIS ABILITY TO CONTROL EVERYTHING WILL PUT HIM IN COLLISION WITH HIS PARTNERS OF THE “TABOO” WHO CLAIMED HIS HEAD TO HAVE POCKETED TOO MUCH.
Becoming the electrifying bassist of the ” super stars ” conquerors of the ‘Tabou combo’, as well as an exotic composer: hoola hoop disco, let’s dance, let’s do the groove, Tabou disco and tc. While interfering in all the tasks of the group like his handyman: manager, canvasser, strategist, liege and others. Taking a preponderant part in the imposition of konpa mabouya through a succession of works, from: ” An X ” , through ” The Super Stars Music Machine ” (Ligth is coming your way), ” Lower down ” , (homage to Nemours), ‘Bolewo jouk li jou’, ” Pataje ”, ” Kite m fè zafè m ” ; in which he dangled his very colorful touch and that dejection that accommodated the funky allure of the group. With a flair for business which led him to the creation of his own production company Chancy Records, which gave the group a certain economic stability; while having the opportunity to produce one of the first records of “Kassav” in his early days.
Tireless, the ” jew ” of the community as we liked to call him for his energy in planning the party and setting the mood in tune. As in the organization of “ladies night”, an obligatory crossroads of a Friday not to be missed; which were moments of good relaxation. But this energy that he was also able to transfer on stage, he also gave it to the community during fundraising, as for: Timanno, Radio Haiti, the reconstruction of schools in the country and others where his vigilance made it possible to thwart the counterfeiters and contribute to the success of a good cause. Yet this ability to control everything will put him in collision with his partners of the “Taboo” who claimed his head to have pocketed too much. Without realizing the sum of its various commissions, in addition to being also a star.
In any case, taken hand in the bag, Dòf dodged in the English way, while daring to grab the name “Tabou Combo” given by the co-founder Herman Nau. However, he finally let go when he was shouted: Haro on the donkey! Insatiable, he gathered a bunch of renowned musicians including his lifelong companion Kòk who swore loyalty to him. For his part, abandoning the “TC” to join the “Super Stars” formation; which on paper looked impressive. But, which marked at the beginning of desertions, will be confined only to the second row, until its final disappearance. This gave Tidòf more space to explore other very Catholic avenues; becoming agent of multiple jobs, while he is spotted in the country in dubious associations.
Temporarily moving away from music to get involved in misdeeds that characterize a mountebank. And, eventually will be imprisoned during the year 2003, for possession of narcotics. But, the coming of the ‘ ‘ Grenn nan pouted ”in power has benefited him. This is how Dòf found himself in the state where he returned to his routines as a balancing act; even founding a new group “T-Tabou” in the company of veteran guitarist Gary Résil. For what seemed like a last try. He was subsequently spotted as the administrator of Arly Larivière’s “Nu Look”. What made the eyelashes rise so much, if we are to trust the fame of the two thieves. In fact, an association that has not had any clashes; until the duo broke up amicably. Still insaturated, Adolphe Chancy has now been recycled in the radio animation of the show ” Baz la ” on social networks.
