Retour - Henri Dès

Henri Dès was born on 14 December 1940 in Renens, Vaud (Switzerland) as Henri Destraz. In 1969, he won the Sopot International Song Festival. He represented Switzerland in the 1970 Eurovision Song Contest with the song 'Retour'. The song finished in fourth place. Later that same year, he released his first album, also titled 'Retour'. Dès also founded his own record label, Disques Mary-Josée, which he named after his wife.

During his career, Henri became known for songs aimed at children. On 15 March 2019 he joined striking school children in Lausanne protesting against climate change.
