Les Quatre Barbus

**Les Quatre Barbus** were a whimsical French vocal quartet active from the 1950s to the 1970s, best known for their tight harmonies and playful reinventions of traditional folk tunes. The group’s name (“The Four Bearded Ones”) cheekily referenced their signature facial hair, which became part of their quirky charm. Blending barbershop-style arrangements with a distinctly French flair, they breathed new life into regional songs, nursery rhymes, and historical ballads, often adding humor or satire to their performances. Tracks like *C’est l’histoire d’une Sirène* and *Le grand méchant loup* showcase their knack for turning folk staples into lively, theatrical gems, while albums like *Rondes Et Chansons De France* cemented their role as preservers of France’s musical heritage. Though their heyday predates streaming-era fame, their recordings remain nostalgic favorites for fans of vintage chanson and lighthearted storytelling.
