Bibi Vaplan

As Bibi Vaplan she writes the lyrics and the music, sings and plays the piano and harpsichord . The 2012 album Sdruogiar ( Eng. Awakening ) was created in collaboration with the Graubünden Chamber Philharmonic .

Bianca Mayer's lyrics are always on Vallader. The songwriter says about the personal motive for making music:

“ La musica am güda da mütschir, d'incleger, sentir o da chattar darcheu il fuond suot ils peis cur ch'eu am perd aint in alch. Sch'eu füss cuntaintischma, nu stessa far musica, lura gessi a baiver ün caffe cun meis amis. "

“The music helps me to break free, to understand, to feel or to find the ground under my feet again if I get lost in something. If I were completely satisfied, then I wouldn't have to make music, I'd rather go for a coffee with friends. "
