Singer Jeanette took centre stage at the Cannes Film Festival on Wednesday evening with a live performance accompanying a beach screening of Cría Cuervos, the acclaimed film by Spanish director Carlos Saura.
The event at the "Cinéma de la Plage" marked 50 years since the film’s 1976 release and drew festival guests, film lovers and members of Saura’s family to Macé beach on the Croisette. Before the screening of the new 4K restoration, Jeanette introduced herself to the audience as “the voice behind the song ‘Porque te vas’” before performing the track live. The song became internationally famous after appearing repeatedly in Saura’s award-winning film about childhood and grief in late Franco-era Spain.
