BIO
Pedro Javier González, from Barcelona, is one of the most versatile guitarists and composers in our country.
The flamenco essence of Pedro Javier was directly influenced by the masters Juan Trilla and Antonio Francisco Serra. Albert Cubero and Sean Levit did the same with jazz and improvisation. He has lent his quality to a multitude of groups and artists of the most varied musical styles and genres: Toti Soler, Feliu Gasull, Victoria de los Ángeles, El último de la fila, Joan Manuel Serrat, Lluís Llach, Maria del Mar Bonet, Manolo García, Paco Ortega, Mónica Molina, Angelo Branduardi, Roberto Alagna.
He has shared festivals with, among others, Paco de Lucía, BB King, John Mclaughlin, Pat Metheny, Keziah Jones, John Williams, Tommy Emmanuely Tomatito. Today, thirteen albums accompany him in his most particular project.
Half the world has enjoyed his elegant reinterpretation of the great masters of flamenco guitar and his arrangements of pop classics (his version of Sultans of Swing has received around 1.5 million hits on Youtube).
Pedro Javier González is a guitarist of reference. Russia, the United States, England and France have enjoyed his mastery as a soloist, accompanied by the Russian National Orchestra, the Plainfield Symphony Orchestra and the Orchestra del Teatro Olimpico di Vicenza.
In other adventures, we have enjoyed him as a duo with double bassist Horacio Fumero, with the outstanding flamenco-fusion trio with Roger Blavia and Toni Terré, or the quartet he forms with Raúl Rodríguez, Trilok Gurtu and Guillem Aguilar.
In 2019 he will publish ‘Babia’ and in 2021 ‘El concierto de Bellesguard’, his latest solo and trio works.
Pedro Javier González's musicality is broad, neat, sensitive, demanding and firm. A plea, in short, for good taste.
