FLAMENCO PASSION
Flamenco Passion was founded by flamenco guitarist and composer Poul Jacek Knudsen in 2000.
It started as an instrumental trio with bass player Nicolai Land and drummer/cajon player Anders Pedersen.
They toured through Denmark playing at festivals and at different cultural venues and events and recorded the first CD "Flamenco Passion" in 2003 (released on Cope Records).
From a review of the CD in the world music magazine "Djembe":
"Poul Jacek Knudsen and his fellowmusicians, Nicolai Land: bass, and Anders Pedersen: percussion, are all technically proficient and the compositions are stylistically very well-proportioned ..."
Presentation of the CD in the magazine "The Musician":
"The title says almost everything. It is the Spanish folklore which is the central of this well-playing trio that with a nice acoustic sound and a good dose of self-composed themes breathes new life and energy in this genre. "
CD "Flamenco Passion II" will be released in autumn 2010. Here the group is extended with the violinist Bjarke Falgren.
At several occasions F.P. was extended with female flamenco singer and dancer Pepita Rohde:
