The Punto de Vista festival is to back music at its forthcoming edition
This year's event features concerts, DJ sessions and Radio 3 programmes with live music, plus a guitar and singing performance to close the festival.
As it does every year, the international documentary film festival Punto de Vista (Pamplona-Iruña, 11th to 16th March) is giving a prominent place to music, and in its eighteenth edition this will be expanding. The festival programme includes a series of concerts, DJ sessions and radio programmes with live music. These activities are supported by the Navarre Music Commission, the bar Txintxarri and Radio 3.
This means the public will have the chance to see the talents of different artists from Navarre, performing at the Bar Txintxarri, in the Punto de Vista Nights programme. This kicks off on Tuesday 12th March with the nomadic producer, composer and writer Pablo Villafranca, aka DJ Rizos, on the decks. In a career spanning more than fifteen years in music he has explored the most diverse genres. On Wednesday 13th there will be a double bill consisting of a concert by multi-instrumentalist Mon Dvy and his experimentation that cuts across jazz, pop, rap and trap; and the session by Señora, taking in in Latin, Brazilian or African beats with touches of electronica and dembow. The next night belongs to DJ Moderno, a regular at festivals all over the country after over 20 years releasing remixes of Spanish and international indie bands. Brecha are to round off the Punto de Vista Nights bill on Friday 15th March. This concert, organised by the bar Txintxarri, will feature one of the most eclectic bands on the scene, characterised by pieces based on shrewd observation and setting out from death and the joy of life. Entrance to the sessions will be free until they are full, the concert by Mon DVY will be free with an invitation - available here - and tickets to Brecha live are now on sale at Wegow.
Moreover, the regular Radio 3 programmes broadcast from Pamplona during the festival will be alternating interviews by Isabel Ruiz Lara, responsible for the programme Tres en la Carretera, with performances by Basque film-maker and writer Peru Galbete (who took part in last year's Official Selection with his film Bide bazterrean hi eta ni kantari) and the band from Navarre Lilo, presenting tracks from their recently-released debut album Nora Goazen Jakin Gabe. These programmes will be taking place on Tuesday 12th and Wednesday 13th March from 6pm in the Baluarte hall, with free entrance until full.
Finally, the closing session of Punto de Vista, to take place on Saturday 16th March in the main auditorium at Baluarte, will include presentation of the festival awards, followed by a screening of the film de caballos y guitarras by Pedro G. Romero, presented by the film-maker himself, followed by a concert of guitar and singing by the artist from Seville María Marín. Tickets to this session, like those for the rest of the festival bill, are on sale now through the daily website programme.
