To Jellies from all countries of the world: Who is the Jacques Brel from your country?

Jacques Brel was a Belgian (Brussels) chansonnier who was known for his energetic and charasmatic performances and great chansons.
A Dutch equivalent would be Ramses Shaffy.
With those two in mind, can you think of a similar singer from your country.
Or if you know one from another country than your own that would also be great.
Thanks in advance!
