Lech Janerka is a respected Polish musician and bassist, renowned for his vital contributions to the post-punk and new wave music scenes in Poland. Born on May 2, 1953, in Wrocław, his influence began in the early 1980s as the leader of the band Klaus Mitffoch, which became one of the most notable groups of the period. After the disbandment of Klaus Mitffoch, Janerka embarked on a solo career that has spanned several decades, consolidating his reputation as a creative and intellectual force in Polish music.

His solo discography is marked by a distinctive lyrical and musical approach, combining irony, critique of social norms, and a willingness to experiment. Janerka's style blends elements of rock, avant-garde, and folk, which is evident in albums like "Historia podwodna" and later releases such as "Zabawawa" and "Wanna na Wawelu." His recent works, such as "Gipsowy Odlew Falsyfikatu" and "Dupa jak Sofa," continue to highlight his penchant for quirky titles and thought-provoking themes. Despite his underground beginnings, Lech Janerka has managed to maintain a loyal fan base and continues to impact the Polish music scene with his poetic songwriting and idiosyncratic sound.
