Leon Redbone, pseudonimo di Dickran Gobalian (1949-2023), è stato un cantautore e musicista statunitense di origini anglo-cipriote. Noto per il suo stile musicale unico che fonde elementi di blues, jazz, folk e musica popolare americana degli anni '20 e '30, Redbone ha conquistato la critica e il pubblico con la sua voce profonda e rauca, le sue performance teatrali e i suoi testi poetici. Nato a Brooklyn, New York, Redbone iniziò la sua carriera musicale negli anni '70, esibendosi in locali di New York City e pubblicando il suo album di debutto, "Leon Redbone", nel 1975. Il suo successo arrivò con l'album del 1978 "Tiger on the Banjo", che includeva il singolo "Yo Ho (A Pirate's Life for Me)", una versione folk-jazz della canzone dei pirati di Disney. Redbone ha collaborato con artisti come Paul Simon e David Byrne, e ha partecipato a numerosi programmi televisivi, tra cui Saturday Night Live e The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson. La sua musica è stata utilizzata in film e serie TV, contribuendo a diffondere la sua popolarità. Redbone si è ritirato dalla vita pubblica nel 2015, ma il suo lavoro continua ad essere apprezzato da un pubblico di appassionati di musica folk e jazz.
