From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bajka (pronounced "Biker") is B. Pluwatsch (born 25 December 1978) is a poet and singer, currently based in Munich, Germany. She was born in India to German parents, and is well-travelled, having lived in Afghanistan, Nepal, Pakistan and South Africa. She attended schools in Goa, Bangalore, Lagos, Portugal, Seattle, Durban and Capetown.

She is the daughter of J. Pluwatsch, a member of the German Krautrock band Embryo. Bajka studied music in Prague. Her relationship with Asia remains a the main theme of her poetry. She has performed spoken word poetry on several projects, including Transglobal Underground's "Instinctive Traveller" and South African Zulu Nation's "Bubblegum". She has also performed with Noujum Oazza and his band Urban Dervish, and for the Royal Moroccan Orchestra. In recent years, her role has moved from poet to singer. Her voice is described as jazz/soul and she has appeared on a number of chill out and electronic dance tracks. Most recently, she appeared on several tracks on Bonobo's latest album, Days To Come.
