Overview
La Olla Exprés is an independent music label and cultural association (Ass. Cult. La Olla Expréss) based in Barcelona, Spain. It operates as a small, artist-driven imprint focused on experimental, improvised, and avant-garde music, releasing works by artists such as Pelayo Arrizabalaga, Eli Gras, Miquel Jordà, Pierre Bastien, and others. The label distributes its catalogue primarily through Bandcamp and maintains a presence on social media platforms including Facebook. Its official website, laollaexpress.com, has been under construction, directing visitors to its Bandcamp page and social networks for current information. The label has released albums including 'Duplicat' (2013) and 'ÁRIDOS' (a later release by Pelayo Arrizabalaga and Eli Gras), the latter in collaboration with the Madrid-based improvisation label Alina Records. La Olla Exprés functions as both a record label and a cultural association, organizing presentations and events, such as the album launch for 'ÁRIDOS' held at RAI in Barcelona. The catalogue includes releases by CE-CHU, Veneno, Memories of Phase, Rem Gonza, Magilla, Jardín Náufrago, Javier Hernando, Tasmanian, Robinet, Eli Gras, 86_16, Koniec, Novia 391, Sirenas Willkommen, Silnaye, Xyloheque, Moisés, and La Teoria dels Forats Blancs | Florenci Salesas. The label's output reflects a commitment to sound experimentation and improvised music, often blending traditional instruments with unconventional sound devices. As a cultural association, it likely engages in broader cultural activities beyond record releases, though specific details are limited. The label's contact email is contact@laollaexpress.com, and it maintains a Bandcamp page where the full catalogue can be streamed. La Olla Exprés remains an active, niche entity within Spain's independent music scene, with a focus on Barcelona and connections to Madrid through collaborations.
