Italian quartet tellKujira releases La lucha es un poema colectivo, a new album conceived during an artistic residency at IRCAM in Paris and released via Superpang. Moving between contemporary music, electronics, art rock, and free jazz, the band continues to develop its singular language through improvisation, fragmentation, and recomposition.

Built from fluid sessions open to contamination, tellKujira’s music navigates abstract soundscapes, ambient textures, polyrhythms, and industrial timbres without attachment to fixed forms. Over time, the group refined this approach through the creation of a “Fragmentarium” — a compositional system based on assembling and rearranging fragments through coded instructions, generating an endless field of possibilities while preserving structural precision.

The album takes shape against the backdrop of the November 2023 strikes at the Centre Georges Pompidou, where workers protested to defend their rights during the band’s residency in Paris. That experience became the emotional and conceptual core of the record: a reflection on collectivity, solidarity, and the tension between artistic creation and social reality.

La lucha es un poema colectivo unfolds as both political echo and sonic ritual — music that pauses, listens, fractures, and reconnects. Like a phrase encountered on a wall or in the street, it invites a moment of recognition: an intangible bond between people who stop, look around, and remember they are still alive.
