About Paco Peña
Artist Biography
Steeped in the flamenco tradition, guitarist and composer Paco Peña has also expanded that tradition through collaboration and experimentation. He is considered one of the world's greatest exponents of flamenco guitar. Peña collaborated with such artists as Jimi Hendrix, and released the first item in what became a vast recording catalog, the LP Flamenco!, in 1966. Peña went on to appear at major halls internationally. Back home in Córdoba, he founded his own Centro Flamenco Paco Peña, whose associated guitar festival attracted other top talents such as Paco de Lucía. As a composer, Peña has written choral works, including a Misa Flamenca (1991). Peña has recorded more than 30 albums and has been active into old age, releasing the album Chopin and Flamenco in 2023.
