Mama Béa Tékielski, born Béatrice Tékielski on August 23, 1948, in Avignon, France, is a distinguished French singer-songwriter renowned for her fusion of chanson française with blues rock and progressive rock elements. Raised by her Italian mother, Mafalda Fiacco, after her Polish violinist father, Karol Tékielski, left when she was two, Mama Béa's music is deeply influenced by artists like Jacques Brel, Barbara, Colette Magny, Janis Joplin, and Léo Ferré. Her 1978 album "Pour un bébé robot" earned the prestigious Prix de l'Académie Charles Cros. In 1983, she lent her voice to Édith Piaf in Claude Lelouch's film "Édith et Marcel." With a career spanning over two decades and a discography of fourteen studio albums, Mama Béa's powerful voice and evocative lyrics have left an indelible mark on French music.
