Recognized as one of the flamenco music mentors and as a founder of the first university course of flamenco guitar in the world (at the Rotterdam Conservatory), Paco Peña manages to present the audience in each and every one of his shows the true flamenco spirit exploited to its theatrical extremities.

Guitarist, composer, playwriter and mentor, Paco Peña was born in Andalucia, learning his first guitar chords at the early age of 6. Some of his solo shows have included the intimate club Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club and the monumental Royal Albert Hall from London, Carnegie Hall from New York and Concertgebouw from Amsterdam. His artistic versatility was proven in his numerous collaborations over the years with friend-guitarists, performers and instrumental groups that have combined diverse musical genres among which classical, jazz, blues, country and Latin-American.

In 1995 "The New York Times" declared that: "Mr Peña is a virtuoso, capable of dazzling an audience beyond the frets of mortal man. He combines rapid–fire flourishes with a colorist's sense of shading; this listener cannot recall hearing any guitarist with a more assured mastery of his instrument." It should come as no surprise that readers of America's Guitar magazine judged Paco Peña as the Best Flamenco Guitarist of the Year for five consecutive years.

Starting with 1970, Paco Peña has put on stage numerous amazing repeated seasons together with his carefully selected suit of dancers and singers in his company, being present on most scenes of the globe.
