“Virtuoso, on the edge, yet emotional guitar playing” ~ de Volkskrant 

As a teenager, Peter fell for the sound of the acoustic guitar. For the timing, swing, and rhythm. For decades, he deepened his knowledge and skills. The journey took him through full halls and small studios. 

El País – Spain's largest daily newspaper – wrote about Peter's music: “Intense, deep, without glitter and glamour”. Peter lets his hands speak. The music and the person have merged into one. 

This is more evident than ever on his first album without accompanying instruments homecoming. From the various traditional flamenco styles, Peter has composed beautiful personal stories. 

An album with a variety of subdued and sensitive styles like soleá, farruca, and balada to the cheerful tangos and exuberant bulerias. And do not forget the traditional zambra with Arabic influence in the song naciemento. Subdued guitar playing with an intimate mysterious hypnotic atmosphere. 

El Periquin will give a solo concert before the break and hold a lecture on flamenco after the break.
