Hugues Aufray

On October 10, 2026, Hugues Aufray takes the stage at Le Liberté in Rennes for a concert that spans a substantial portion of the history of French song. A performer and songwriter since the 1950s, he has built a distinctive trajectory, balancing the spirit of folk with a taste for great stories, marked by a recognizable phrasing and a very personal way of telling the world.

A key moment in his career: his encounter with Bob Dylan's repertoire. From the mid-1960s, Aufray translated into French several titles by the American songwriter, notably on the album Aufray chante Dylan, which has become a landmark in his discography. Over the decades, he has released albums, toured, and returned to the studio, keeping the same throughline: songs that endure over time and a direct connection with the audience. In Rennes, he comes to unfold this repertoire, between classics and folk detours, carried by a stage presence that remains continually active.
