Julos Beaucarne – born in Écaussines, Belgium on June 27, 1936 – was a singer, songwriter, poet, storyteller, and actor. He is best known for his unique style that mixed songs, poetry, and humorous monologues. He first became a theater actor in the early 1960s in Brussels, Belgium before starting his recording career. Although he recorded his first song in 1964, he didn’t release his debut album, Julos Chante Julos, until 1967. His rich catalog included best-selling albums such L'Enfant Qui Veut Veut Vider la Mer (1968), Julos Chante Pour Vous (1969), Chandeleur 75 (1975), Les Communiqués Colombophiles (1976), Julos at the Théâtre de la Ville (1977), and La P'tite Gayole (1981). Immensely popular in his homeland, in 2006, his 70th birthday celebration – Julos 70 – was covered around the country in the press as well as on television and radio. A humanist, environmentalist and pacifist, his work was celebrated by the creation of the Julos Beaucarne Foundation, announced on June 30, 2014, by his two sons. Julos Beaucarne died on September 18, 2021, at the age of 85.
