Hugues Aufray
Hugues Aufray is a French music legend whose career spans over six decades, charming audiences with his folk-inspired tunes and storytelling flair. Born in 1929, this spry nonagenarian (still going strong in 2024!) first made waves in the early '60s by translating Bob Dylan songs into French, becoming a bridge between American folk and European audiences. His signature sea shanty "Santiano" remains an enduring anthem, while playful tracks like "Le gorille" (a Georges Brassens cover) showcase his cheeky humor. A true Eurovision pioneer, he represented Luxembourg in 1964 with the springtime serenade "Dès que le printemps revient."
Aufray’s recent work proves he’s not slowing down – he’s been dropping festive gems like *Hugues Aufray Chante Noël* and *Jingle Bells, que la neige est belle*, while compilations like *Autoportrait* celebrate his rich catalog. Blending French chanson with global folk influences, he’s earned accolades like the Victoire de la Musique honor, cementing his status as a bonafide icon who still makes music feel like a warm conversation with an old friend.
