Julos Beaucarne

Julos Beaucarne,[1] (27 June 1936 – 18 September 2021[2]) was a Belgian artist (storyteller, poet, actor, writer, singer, sculptor), singing in French and Walloon.

One of his acting roles was the "father Jacques" in The Mystery of the Yellow Room and Le Parfum de la dame en noir Beaucarne's first single was recorded in 1964.

Each album is thus an atmosphere more than a concept, which reflects a state of mind mixing revolt (lettre à Kissinger, Bosnia and Herzegovina), tenderness (Y Vaut Meyeu S'bêtchi), humor (Pompes funèbres) and everyday life, as his neighbor's voice in the "communiqués colombophiles" (pigeon releases).

That night he wrote an open letter analyzing the guilt of the society that put the weapon in the hands of assassins, along with a call to "reforest the human soul" with "love, friendship and persuasion".

He put poems into songs, from Belgian authors (especially Max Elskamp [fr]) or non-Belgian, which gave birth to the songs "Je ne songeais pas à Rose" (Victor Hugo), "Je fais souvent ce rêve étrange" (Paul Verlaine), "Jeune fille plus belle que toutes nos légendes" (Gaston Miron).
