Louis Chedid人物介绍

Louis Chedid (born 1 January 1948, in Ismaïlia) is a French singer-songwriter of Lebanese, Syrian, and Egyptian origin.

Louis Chedid is the son of the writer Andrée Chedid and the father of Matthieu Chedid (better known as -M-).

As a child he made his first footsteps into the singing world as a member of the \"Manécanterie des Petits Chanteurs à la Croix de Bois\", a famous French catholic boys choir.

Chedid was a fan of the jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt and decided that he would set forth into a career in the world of music as soon as he left school. After his first album \"Balbutiements\" (Mumblings – 1973) attracted little attention, his talent was first recognised after the release of titles like \"La Belle\" and \"T\'as beau pas être beau\" released in 1977.

In 1981, \"Ainsi soit-il\" (Amen) rose to the top of the charts, followed four years later by \"Anne ma sœur Anne\" (My sister Anne) which criticised the increasing popularity of the extreme-right in France. His first, autobiographical novel – 40 Berges Blues – was published in 1992.

Chedid is also the composer of Pierre-Dominique Burgaud\'s \"Le Soldat Rose\" (The Pink Soldier, 2006), a fairytale musical whose songs have been interpreted by singers including -M-, Vanessa Paradis, Jeanne Cherhal, Francis Cabrel, Alain Souchon and Bénabar.
