The film is a portrait of the independent musician
Alvaro Pefia-Rojas, also known as “The Chilean
With
The Singing Nose”. Alvaro who’s currently
living in
Germany once founded together with Joe Strummer
“The 101ers”- one of the first punk bands
in Great
Britain. At the age of 65 he still is a musician by
passion, he still is absolutely dedicated to his kind
of
music - without making any concessions towards the
musical mainstream. Documentary. Germany
10pm
Live Show By Alvaro
"Folk Experimentalist
and Radicalist" (Sounds)
"We would kill for ALVARO records!" (WFMU-Radio,
New York)
"Very good!" (RESONANCE Radio, London)
The singer and songwriter Alvaro Peña-Rojas was
born
in Valparaíso, Chile in 1943. In 1974 and after
releasing several singles with Chilean rock bands, he
arrives in London where he formed with Joe Strummer
(THE CLASH) the legendary group called THE 101'ERS.
In the ethical 2000s and amidst infotainment, political
correctness and missions of all calibers, the TRANSITIONAL
MUSIC and poetry (he has published poetry
and released 18 records: LPs, singles and CDs) created
by ALVARO has survived them all. From his early
youth playing music in Chile to now, the strong
individuality of this piano player, singer and composer
has defeated all music trends and fashions. Love it
or
hate it! Alvaro lives at present in Germany touring
Europe and Latinamerica regularly.
