Today begins a new edition of the Warm Up Festival at the La Fica venue, with three inexhaustible days of concerts, but the city of Murcia has been immersed all week in the alternative programming they have prepared for the occasion. Although music is the protagonist of this event, which year after year becomes one of the most recognized in the country, many other arts have come together since last Monday, May 24 and until next May 1. Under the name ‘We are Murcia’, the city organizes free events in cinema, fashion, exhibitions, literature and street markets in the most emblematic points to warm up the engines for everything that happens in La Fica. We are cinema ‘Nightclubbing: The Birth of Punk Rock in NYC’ Filmoteca. Friday at 9:15 PM A fascinating portrait of the New York punk scene in the 1970s through the famous CBGB nightclub. Film library ‘Pure and pure Triana’. Saturday, at 9:15 pm A glimpse into the daily life of the Gypsy community of Triana, their customs, festivals and confrontations with authorities and other residents. Film library ‘Ennio the teacher’. Sunday, at 6 p.m. A tribute to Morricone through a lengthy interview, artist and director testimonials and the revelation of his most personal side. This weekend the Filmoteca is running at full speed with three projections that differ greatly from each other but with a common thread: music. This afternoon, attendees relive the birth of punk in the New York scene of the 1970s in the documentary ‘Nightclubbing’, through bands at the beginning of their careers such as The Ramones, Blondie and Talking Heads. On Saturday it’s the turn of flamenco, its creators – the gypsy community – and the art they propagate, with the documentary ‘Triana pura y pura’. Meanwhile, on Sunday, the “master” of the soundtracks, Ennio Morricone, is rescued through a documentary that collects testimonials from Dario Argento, Quentin Tarantino, Bruce Springsteen and Hans Zimmer, among others, and shows the musician’s lesser side. , who may have mysterious ties to his work. We are Literature ‘Here I lived, an emotional chronicle of my 25 years with the FIB’, by Joan Vich La Yesería. Friday, at 8 p.m. Ángel Sopena, journalist and music programmer, presents this journey through Vich’s experiences at FIB, one of the country’s emblematic festivals, where he started behind the bar and ended up as co-director. Literature also does not want to miss the Warm Up party, especially that of writer Joan Vich. The journalist Ángel Sopena presents this afternoon his book ‘Here I lived, an emotional chronicle of my 25 years at the FIB’, which tells of his emergence at the legendary festival: he started working as a waiter in the first edition and eventually became the co director the year before the pandemic. During his festival journey, the author has met all kinds of characters, from bizarre fans to the most renowned artists, who helped create one of the events that consolidated a leisure model in Spain: festival summers. Som market Urban market Basabé Street. Saturday, Sunday and Monday from 12 a.m. to 8 p.m. Quite a few shops in the capital are pulling their shelves out into the streets until next Monday to bring their local products closer to customers and invite them to stroll among the stalls in the city centre. Beyond the music at La Fica, The Warm Up proposes a design ‘market’ as the perfect weekend plan. Another asset of ‘Somos Murcia’ is the already traditional market on Basabé street, where more than a dozen local handicraft, fashion and accessory brands meet from morning to Monday to encourage a stroll around the area . . In addition, there is also no shortage of ‘Rutas Off Somos Murcia’, guided tours of more than 50 gastronomy, shopping and creative establishments that have prepared specific proposals for enjoying these days in Murcia.
