Nord' Literary Review
A variety of perspectives on the work and influence of Walloon singer Julos Beaucarne, who passed away four years ago.
The first special issue dedicated to the Walloon singer Julos Beaucarne since the magazine Chorus in 2000, this issue offers a variety of perspectives on the work and influence of the artist who passed away four years ago. A major figure in French-language music, an environmental pioneer, a champion of a hybrid French language, a fierce critic of fascism in Chile, and a tender interpreter of Victor Hugo, Beaucarne is profiled through analyses of his signature songs and previously unpublished accounts, including reflections on the enduring impact of his work today
