Who is Hubert Felix Thiefaine ?

Hubert-Félix Thiéfaine (French pronunciation: [ybɛʁ feliks tjefɛn]) is a French pop-rock singer and songwriter. He was born on 21 July 1948 in the town of Dole in the Juradépartement.

Mostly shunned by television and radio, he has built over the years – through word of mouth and frequent touring – a considerable following which allowed him to fill the 17,000-seater Palais omnisports de Paris-Bercy for an anniversary concert in 1998. In recent years he has been increasingly name-dropped as an influence by the latest generation of performers in France, and was the subject of a tribute album of covers in 2002. He has been performing since the late 1960s and releasing records since 1978.

Musically, Thiéfaine draws mostly from classic rock, with rare nods to the latest musical trends, and generally leaves the arranging to a collaborator. His songs are most notable for instantly recognisable lyrics, with their trademarks streams of consciousness, surreal and often extreme or dark imagery, often tinged with comedy, cynicism, literary references, neologisms and liberal use of scientific, long or foreign words.

His avowed influences include Léo Ferré, Lou Reed, and many French, Anglo-Saxon and German novelists and poets, with a preference for romantic literature.

I really enjoyed that JP. It's good that you introduce us to French artists who are little known in my country - yet we are only separated by a few kilometers of sea !

I need no introduction to Rosé de Provence A.O.C though - I've enjoyed many bottles !  ;D

Thank you Pete

...It must be said that huber félix thiefaine is not very well known in France either,
like many music craftsmen who are not in the mass broadcast television and radio networks

QuoteI need no introduction to Rosé de Provence A.O.C

I am not a fundamentalist of the Rosé de France... I like (too) beer and whisky a lot
