Régis Debray, né le 2 septembre 1940 à Paris, est un écrivain, philosophe et haut fonctionnaire français. Engagé aux côtés de Che Guevara dans les années 1960, il est emprisonné et torturé à plusieurs reprises en Amérique du Sud. Il devient par la suite un écrivain prolifique. Dans le domaine des sciences de l'information, il crée et développe le domaine de la médiologie et fonde la revue Médium. Il est fondateur en 2002 de l'Institut européen en sciences des religions, une chaire universitaire française publique sur «l’enseignement du fait religieux dans l’école laïque». Il a été membre de l'académie Goncourt entre 2011 et 2015. Régis Jules Debray est le fils de Georges Debray, avocat au barreau de Paris, ancien membre du Conseil de l'Ordre des avocats et secrétaire de la Conférence des avocats du barreau de Paris, et de Janine Alexandre-Debray, avocate et femme politique. Élève au lycée Janson-de-Sailly dans le 16e arrondissement de Paris, son premier «passeur» vers la philosophie est Jacques Muglioni qu'il décrit comme un «hussard noir de la grande époque» ne commentant jamais l'actualité. Il est reçu premier au concours d'entrée à l'École normale supérieure (Lettres) en 1960 puis passe l'agrégation de philosophie en 1965, tout en militant à l'Union des étudiants communistes. Il étudie à la faculté des lettres de Paris. En 1965, il est nommé professeur de français au lycée Henri-Poincaré de Nancy, qu'il quitte après quelques mois d'enseignement. La même année, il part à Cuba puis suit Che Guevara en Bolivie. Il théorise sa participation à la guérilla de l'ELN dans Révolution dans la révolution (1967) où il développe la théorie du foquisme de «foco» (foyer en espagnol): la multiplication de foyers de guérilla. Ion Pacepa, ancien général des services secrets roumains, dit qu'alors le «terroriste français Régis Debray était un agent hautement prisé du KGB». Il use alors du pseudonyme de «Danton». L'ELN est durement frappée le 20 avril 1967, lorsque Régis Debray et Ciro Bustos sont capturés. Tous deux sont torturés par les forces gouvernementales et par des agents de la Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). Irénée Guimarães sera aussi, à cette occasion, arrêté avec eux par la police militaire bolivienne. Les preuves d'un accord de Debray avec la CIA (informations contre arrêt des tortures et promesse d'une peine clémente) ont été découvertes; d'autres évoquent également des informations et des dessins donnés par Bustos en échange d'un traitement de faveur pour l'identification du groupe. Aucune version n'a pu être confirmée à ce jour, mais il semble vraisemblable qu'un ensemble de renseignements, à la suite de leurs interrogatoires respectifs, ait permis de rassembler assez d'éléments pour permettre aux forces boliviennes d'identifier, tracer et intercepter le groupe. ...

“I was born on the East Side of New York in 1902. Played games in and out family entrances of saloon on Second Avenue until chased by bartender. Sold newspapers on Fifth Avenue at the age of ten. Had ambition to become fireman but moved across the bridge to the wide open spaces of Brooklyn and decided to be a cowboy instead. Was transferred from public school to high school in Brooklyn by mistake and much to every one’s surprise became a stenographer. But consistent misspelling forced me to draw pictures for a living. And then came Mickey Mouse, with whom I have been associated in California for the past two years.” -published in the June 20, 1931 edition of The Motion Picture Daily

Après la guerre, il alterne l'activité dans le jazz avec celle dans la musique légère et, en même temps, continue ses études de musique en passant son diplôme au Conservatoire Santa Cecilia de Rome en 1948. En 1949, il est choisi pour représenter l'Italie au Festival de Jazz de Paris où, avec Gorni Kramer à la contrebasse et Gil Cuppini (en) à la batterie, il joue dans la célèbre Salle Pleyel.

Cette chanson aux sonorités polynésiennes illustre la scène du bal du Réveillon de la Saint-Sylvestre du film 9 mois ferme, réalisé en 2013 par Albert Dupontel. Il écrit aussi la musique de comédies musicales, en collaboration avec Pietro Garinei et Sandro Giovannini, par exemple pour Aggiungi un posto a tavola et Rugantino. Il a été également l'un des maris de l'actrice Pier Angeli. Ouvert en mai 2011 à Rome, le Pont de la Musique a été rebaptisé à son nom après sa mort.
