In this special edition of CSEEES' #MusicMonday series, Alicia Baca and Dr. Diana Sacilowski speak with Grzegorz Kwiatkowski, frontman of the Polish band Trupa Trupa. Hailing from Gdańsk, the band blends post-punk, art rock and poetic intensity to create music that confronts history without being consumed by it. Their work explores themes like World War II, the Holocaust and communism’s legacy through sonic experimentation and lyrical repetition. With international recognition from outlets like NPR and Rolling Stone, performances at SXSW and Icelandic Airways to being featured in the films of renowned director Agnieszka Holland, Trupa Trupa continues to channel memory, absurdity, and resistance into a sound that resonates far beyond Poland.
