The cultural association Etnika has organized the first memorial dedicated to the cantadore a chiterra, Giovanni Pintus, on Saturday 2 December at 6pm, in room XI of the Doria castle in via Marconi.

The cantadores Daniele Giallara, Marco Manca and Franco Figos will perform accompanied by Bruno Maludrottu on guitar.

During the interval Tonino Pira will pay homage to Pintus by performing a sung dance accompanied on the guitar by Bruno Maludrottu and on the accordion by Gianuario Sannia . Also on the program is the performance of the Confraternity of Castelsardo which will perform a piece from its repertoire.

Born in 1925, Pintus had the opportunity to sing with the great cantadores of his period. In addition to singing on the guitar, he was part of the Castelsardo brotherhood, of which he was a choir singer, which he joined in 1947. He also has some recordings to his credit, as well as many performances on Sardinian, continental and foreign stages.
