He was best known for his collaboration with Przemysław Gintrowski and Jacek Kaczmarski. He also worked with the band Czerwony Tulipan,[1][2][3] as well as with Kuba Sienkiewicz, contributing to three of Sienkiewicz's solo albums and performing with him in acoustic concerts.[4][5][6] Lapiński also took part in concerts and studio recordings with Mirosław Czyżykiewicz.
Together with Jørn Simen Øverli, he recorded two albums: the first featuring songs by the Kaczmarski-Gintrowski-Lapiński trio and other polish poets; the second, a set of Vladimir Vysotsky’s songs translated into Norwegian, which won the 1989 Spellemannprisen.[7][8]
In November 2005, he suffered a stroke and withdrew from professional life.
He died on April 2, 2018 and was buried in the Avenue of the Meritorious at Powązki Cemetery in Warsaw.[9]
