In music , choirs have a long tradition in the Romansh-speaking areas . Apart from traditional music and song , Romansh is also used in contemporary pop or hip-hop music , some of which has become known outside the Romansh-speaking regions , for instance , in the Eurovision Song Contest 1989 , Switzerland was represented by a Romansh song , '' Viver senza tei '' . Since 2004 , the hip-hop group Liricas Analas has become known even outside of Grisons through their Romansh songs . Other contemporary groups include the rock-band '' Passiunai '' with its lead singer Pascal Gamboni , or the rock/pop band The Capoonz . Composer Gion Antoni Derungs has written three operas with Romansh librettos : '' Il cerchel magic '' ( 1986 ) , '' Il semiader '' ( 1998 ) and '' Tredeschin '' ( 2000 )
