Ubuntwana nobusha
UJacques Romain Georges Brel (igama eliphelele lomculi) wazalwa ngo-April 8, 1929. Indawo yokuzalwa yomfana kwakuyiScharbeek (eBelgium). Inhloko yomndeni yayinemboni encane yokukhiqiza amakhadibhodi namaphepha. Enye ingane yakhuliswa ekhaya. UJacques wathola imfundo yamaKatolika yakudala.
Abazali bomfana bashada sekwephuzile, ngakho babevame ukubhekwa ngephutha njengogogo nomkhulu. Kwakunzima kuBrel ukuthola ulimi oluvamile noyise. Kwakungabantu bezizukulwane ezihlukene abanemibono nemibono yabo ngesimo esithile sempilo. UJacques wazizwa njengengane enesizungu, futhi unina kuphela owaba injabulo kuye.
Ekuqaleni kwe-40 yekhulu leminyaka elidlule, abazali banamathisela indodana yabo esikhungweni semfundo saseSt. Ngaleso sikhathi kwakungelinye lamakolishi ahlonishwayo kule ndawo. Wayethanda isipelingi nesiDashi. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, waba nesithakazelo emidwebeni yezincwadi.

Indlela yokudala ka-Jacques Brel
Ngemva kokuba uJacques ebuyisele isikweletu sakhe ezweni lakubo, wabuyela ekhaya. Ubaba wazama ukudonsela indodana yakhe ebhizinisini lomndeni, kodwa ngokushesha wabona ukuthi uBrel wayengenasithakazelo kulo msebenzi.
Ekuqaleni kwawo-50s wekhulu elidlule, u-Jacques waqala ukubhala izingoma zombhali. Ngemva kwesikhathi esithile, wenza izingoma eziningana eqenjini labangane nezihlobo.

Eminyakeni embalwa kamuva, waqala ukucula esiteji sokusungulwa kweBlack Rose. Umsebenzi wakhe waqala ukukhula ngesithakazelo, futhi uJacques ngokwakhe wazuza ulwazi olwanele lokungena esigabeni sochwepheshe. Ngokushesha wethula i-albhamu yokuqala yobude obugcwele.
Ube esethola isipho kumdidiyeli uJacques Canetti bese ethuthela eFrance. Inhlanhla yahamba naye, ngoba ngemva konyaka uJuliette Greco ngokwakhe wacula ingoma ethi Ca va ekhonsathini e-Olympia.

Ukujwayelana kwamathalenta amabili kwaphumela ekusebenzelaneni okunezithelo. URobert wavuma ukuhamba nomculi. Ngempela kwakuyi-tandem ephelele. Kamuva, uJacques wabonakala nomunye umculi - uGerard Jouanne. Ekupheleni kweminyaka yama-50s, ibhadi yethula umphakathi irekhodi elithi Demain l'on se marie. Ngalesi sikhathi, ukuduma komdwebi kukhuphuke kakhulu.
Ukukhuphuka kukaJacques Brel
Ukuduma kwashanela phezu kuka-Jacques ngasekupheleni kwawo-50s ekhulwini elidlule. Kusukela ngaleso sikhathi, ubelokhu ehambela kakhulu futhi ujabulisa abalandeli ngokukhishwa kwama-albhamu amasha. Umdwebi uphelelise umsebenzi wakhe ngezwi lakhe nangesitayela sokwenza.

Ngemva kwesikhashana, waqamba kabusha inkampani ngokuthi Pouchenel. Ilebula likaJacques laliphethwe umkakhe.
Maphakathi nawo-60s, kwakhululwa amarekhodi amabili. Lesi sikhathi simakwe ngokuqoshwa kwengoma ethi "Amsterdam". Ngesikhathi esifanayo, i-Grand Prix du Disque ehlonishwayo yayisezandleni ze-bard.

Wabe esevela kwamanye amafilimu amabili, wabe esezama ithalente lakhe lokuqondisa efilimu ethi "Franz". Uphinde walingisa efilimini ethi "Adventure is Adventure."
U-Barclay wenzela u-Jacques isithembiso ayengenakusenqaba. Iminyaka engaba ngu-30, umdwebi usayine inkontileka nenkampani. Akazange akhe amathrekhi amasha, kodwa wanquma ukwenza ilungiselelo lamahithi amadala nadume kakhulu. Akazange ashiye imboni yefilimu futhi waqhubeka nokuzibonakalisa kulo mkhakha.
Ekupheleni kokuphila kwakhe, umdwebi wathuthela nentombi yakhe eziQhingini zaseMarquesas. Nokho, ukuphila eziqhingini kuye kwakubonakala kubuhlungu futhi kungabekezeleleki kangangokuthi ngemva konyaka wabuyela eFrance. Lapho efika, washicilela i-albhamu.

Ngendlela, wayengakholelwa othandweni lukababa, ngakho wacela uTeresa ukuba atshele izingane ngaye, njengenkanyezi kuphela. Sicaphuna:
“Angikholelwa emizweni yobubaba, kodwa ngikholelwa othandweni lukamama. Ubaba akakwazi ukusondelana nezingane.

Ngifuna bangikhumbule njengenkanyezi."
