Artist interview – Bibiana Briceño

Lyriko’s learning Spanish version features several artists, but none more prominently than Bibiana Briceño. It’s fair to say that learning Spanish with Lyriko would not be possible (yet) without her songs. That’s why we reached out to Bibiana first, in our new series of artist interviews.

Skylight Games (SG): Bibiana, thanks for doing this interview. Want to say hello to all your Lyriko fans?
Bibiana Briceño (BB): Greetings to the Lyriko community. I hope you will enjoy learning Spanish as much as I enjoyed working on the songs. There is a lot of love in this wonderful app!!!
SG: Where are you from?
BB: Bogotá. Colombia. South America.

SG: When and why did you decide to become a musician?
BB: When I was 15 years old I recorded a song for the first time. Being in the studio was a wonderful experience for me and from that moment on I knew that I wanted to be a part of the music magic.

SG: What inspires your music?
BB: Lyricwise. Everyday people, the small details of life and the news. Musicwise: The sounds of world music (Formal and folk)

SG: How has your music evolved?
BB: The lyrics have become very important. Going back to my roots and the experience of years of recording and composing are finally getting results with more polished songs, based on simplicity and meaningful messages for the people.

SG: Where did the inspiration for “La alegría de amar,” “Lobo,” and “Tabla del cinco” come from?

Masako presented Lyriko at Harvard Social Enterprise Conference study tour gathering!

Masako attended the Harvard Social Enterprise Conference study tour in 2012, and they recently had their annual gathering in Tokyo. She presented Lyriko via Skype at 5am Boston time. She talked about enterprises in Boston and how she’s adapting to the new working style. People were surprised about how the working environments are different between Tokyo and Boston and curious about “bootstrapping.” It was a great opportunity to connect with Japanese social entrepreneurs.
