Details: 2CDs containing some of Paco Peña's best performances; solo, duo, group or ensemble. Together they show how he is one of the most important flamenco guitarists alive today. Like so many other of the key concepts in Iberian culture – duende, cante jondo, flamenco itself – peña is virtually untranslatable. In the simplest terms, it means a gathering of like-minded people, engaged in a common pursuit. To go deeper, it implies an encounter in which creative passions are engaged to the fullest degree – whether these are expressed in poetry, epic narrative, dance, music or some combination of all of these. It is significant that throughout his career, Paco Peña has moved easily between virtuosic solo guitar performance and ensemble performance with his dance company. The adopted name does not merely become him; it defines his artistic identity.
