Pierre Barouh was a multifaceted French musician, songwriter, and actor whose influence extended across several realms of the arts, making him a notable figure in French culture. Born on February 19, 1934, in Paris, Barouh's career spanned several decades, during which his poetic exploration of the human experience and the world around us resonated in his diverse body of work. Although he passed away on December 28, 2016, his robust discography continued to grow as his recordings were posthumously released, enriching the French chanson genre.

A significant figure in the ye-ye movement and the French New Wave cinema, Barouh is perhaps best remembered for his work on the classic film "A Man and a Woman" ("Un homme et une femme"), for which he wrote the lyrics to the theme song, earning him international acclaim. His songs often conveyed a sense of thoughtful introspection, highlighted in his later works such as "60 ans de chansons à des titres Divers (parfois Dit Vert) sur l'humain et ce qui l'entoure" and "Daltonien." His album "Le pollen" exemplifies his penchant for blending poetic lyricism with a folk sensibility. Posthumous releases like "Sierras" and the EP "Ovalie," alongside reflective works like "Ça Va, Ça Vient," continue to showcase his enduring legacy as an artist dedicated to the exploration of life's nuanced ebb and flow.
