Julos Beaucarne, a Belgian artist, was a singer, poet, and storyteller whose work reflects a deep connection with both the earth and the cosmos. Born on August 27, 1936, in Écaussinnes, Belgium, Beaucarne grew up in a world ravaged by war, which influenced his later pacifist views. His career spanned several decades, beginning in the 1960s, and he became known for his tender, poetic songs that often carried messages of love, peace, and environmentalism.

Throughout his career, Beaucarne remained fiercely independent, often producing his own records and writing his own material. His warm, distinctive voice delivered lyrics in French and Walloon, touching on themes that transcended boundaries and resonated with audiences beyond his native Belgium. Albums like "Mon terroir c'est les galaxies" illustrate his ability to see the local in the universal and vice versa. His commitment to social issues, as seen in "Front de libération des arbres fruitiers", reflects his advocacy for the natural world. Despite the tragic murder of his wife in 1975, Julos continued to spread his message of hope and resilience through his art, becoming a beloved cultural figure. He passed away on September 19, 2021, leaving behind a rich legacy of music, poetry, and activism.
