Hubert-Félix Thiéfaine is a French pop-rock singer and composer, born July 21, 1948 in the town of Dole in the Jura département.
Thiéfaine had an important success all along his more than 30 years career, though he never had any support from the medias and never looked for it. He has a very loyal fan base and always filled up important concert halls in France. He had several albums certified gold.
He's viewed as a disillusioned poet who has a cynic look on the society and often refers to writers like Rimbaud and Baudelaire. He also showed his sense of absurd humor in his early works as attest albums like Autorisation de délirer (License to rave) with songs like L'homme politique, le roll-mops et la cuve à mazout (The politician, the roll-mops and the fuel tub) or Enfermé dans les cabinets (avec la fille mineure des 80 chasseurs) (Enclosed in the toilets with the 80 hunters’ minor daughter).
