Brother Resistance

Brother Resistance is a musician from Trinidad and Tobago.

Born Lutalo Masimba, Brother Resistance became the lead singer of the Network Riddim Band, a Trinidadian soca ensemble, in 1970. In between completing studies at the University of the West Indies, Brother Resistance continued to write music for the ensemble, and his 1981 debut album, Busting Out, became a major hit, defining the musical genre that would come to be known as rapso. Busting Out was the first album to use the word rapso, a style that fuses soca with American hip hop.
