He recorded his political chansons in both French and in Creole. He lived abroad in exile twice, both during the 1980s and again during the years 1991-1994, when the country was ruled by a military junta led by Raoul Cédras. In 1995, Charlemagne was elected mayor of Port-au-Prince after running as a candidate of Jean-Bertrand Aristide's Fanmi Lavalas political party. He was mayor until 1999. More on: Wikipedia
