Poul Jacek Knudsen

I am a danish flamencoguitarist, and have performed throughout Scandinavia and Germany as a soloist with my group "Flamenco Passion" and as an accompanist for singing and dancing.
I also teach flamencoguitar and cajon in Rytmisk Center in Copehagen and each summer we have a oneweek flamencocourse in Vestjyllands Hoejskole near Ringkoebing.
I have had the privilege to work with flamencoartists such as singer Jaime Heredia "El Parron" and guitarist Emilio Maya, guitarist Antonio "Jero", dancer Juan Luis de Paula, dancer Ann "La Pantera", singer Juan Murube, singer Thierry Boisdon and female singer and dancer Pepita Rohde.
In october 2006 I did a performance with Pepita Rohde in Peña Cultural Flamenca "La Fragua" Bellavista in Seville.
In may 2007 I played with Pepita Rohde, cuban bassplayer Yasser Pino and percussionist Peter Ehler at the first international flamenco festival in Ankara, Turkey.
In february 2008 we have recorded 4 songs in traditional flamenco styles with old danish lyrics that have both religious and secular themes.
In february 2009 Pepita and I went to Helsinki, Finland where we did a flamenco-song and -guitar course and performed at Helsinki Flamencofestival 2009.
