Spanish guitar virtuoso Paco Peña returns to Australia in 2016 with his company of dancers as they bring the magic and traditions of the Flamenco to stages across Australia.

Bringing to life the intoxicating rhythms, colours and sounds of Andalucía, Paco Peña and his dancers, singer and musicians set the stage alight in bursts of glorious improvisation and virtuoso flamenco technique. The first half of the performance features the solo guitar by Paco Peña. The second half sees the dancers join Mr Peña for the full flamenco experience.

Paco Peña is one of the most respected guitar virtuosos and a Spanish cultural icon. He is an accomplished guitarist, composer, dramatist, producer and artistic mentor and has transformed perceptions of the archetypal Spanish guitar and the much loved Spanish dance – the Flamenco, one of the most recognised dance forms in the world. Culturally ingrained as a traditional Spanish dance, it is a dance of pure passion and strong movement. It’s rhythmic stomping and clapping that invariably leads to a climactic end. It is a dance of high emotion and one that cannot help but sweep the audience in.
