Walter Lietha - Drum sing i grad drumMovie

The Grisons singer Walter Lietha was one of the biggest names in the Swiss music scene in the 1970s, becoming the voice of a generation with his poetic, sometimes socially critical songs. But at the beginning of the 1980s, this voice largely fell silent in the public sphere. In August 2025, the 75-year-old Grisons bard was honored with a concert at the "Alpentöne" music festival, featuring, among others, Corin Curschellas, Sophie Hunger, Stephan Eicher, Michael von der Heide, and the Narrenschiffband. What has become of Walter Lietha, his utopian visions, his songs?
