"Lotta Bertinotti!" is the new single by Cigno, available from Friday 23 October on digital platforms. Caught between post-punk and new wave, Cigno presses forward through détournement and calembour, political references and contemporary iconography. Tight rhythms, distorted guitars and filtered vocals accompany a grotesque journey through the emotional and political rubble of a generation that has lost its certainties, yet keeps desperately searching for a way out. At the heart of the track, the former politician and union leader becomes a symbolic name, suspended between nostalgia, farce and disenchantment. Amid union struggles, laid-off workers stripped of their pensions, and the ghosts of a radical-chic left, Bertinotti turns into a superhero of the absurd, an ideological fetish and a mythological creature born from the unresolved fears and desires of the Italian left. But behind the irony lies a serious question: how do you start over after a defeat? "Lotta Bertinotti!" tries to answer by turning political memory into sound matter, hallucinated and visionary. Because sometimes paradox is the only language left to confront the tragedy of the present. The single precedes the artist's forthcoming album titled "Kabarett Holocaust", out Friday 22 January, which will be accompanied by a tour of the same name.
