Emil Pernblad

Emil's path to the flamenco guitar has been anything but straightforward - he started playing the piano at the age of six, almost ten years later he was often found behind a drum set, later it was the electric guitar that led to classical guitar and 25 years ago flamenco found him.

Today he is basically a flamenco guitarist, and after many years of training in Spain, he is active as a freelance musician with a large geographical field of work. In both the flamenco home region and on tour, he has played with several of the genre's big stars. In search of new ways of expression, he sometimes chooses to go far from the Spanish tones and often hear Arabic, Celtic, Latin American, Russian or Swedish music streaming from his guitar. He has been touring extensively with widely differing groups, ever since the first tours in Ireland with Celtic Conections in the late 80's to Scotland tour with the Roma-Russian group Krilja 2013 and the Argentina tour 2014 with the singer Rebecka Gabriel. The same year he presented the album "De Noche" together with the singer Marianne Holmboe with music and lyrics by Emil.

Emil has composed music for theater and television, and also works as a guitar teacher.
