Description
The Danish ensemble Flamenco Passion meets three soloists of international class, namely master guitarist Mikkel Nordso, violinist Bjarke Falgren and harmonica player Mathias Heise on 'A Tribute to Paco de Lucia'.
The group Flamenco Passion are among the very best flamenco fusion groups in Scandinavia, led by guitarist Poul Jacek Knudsen alongside bassist Nicolai Land and percussionist Anders Pedersen. The album is a tribute to the late flamenco guitar icon Paco de Lucia, who has inspired countless flamenco artists and great jazz musicians such as Chick Corea and George Benson. The repertoire presented is original Flamenco Passion themes, one composition by Paco de Lucia plus two tracks composed by Mikkel Nordso.
The album is a journey through moods and emotions, and the passion comes alive in the complex compositions with the recurrent themes and well performed improvisations. Immerse yourself in the rich history of flamenco, unfolding with each strum of the guitar from some of the very best in the business!
