Jonathan “Juanito” Pascual is an internationally-recognized guitarist who performs traditional and contemporary flamenco with influences ranging from Jimi Hendrix and the Grateful Dead to Miles Davis and J.S. Bach.
Born in Minneapolis, Juanito Pascual is known in both Spain and the United States as a unique and creative flamenco and jazz performer. He has released three critically-acclaimed albums, including “Cosas en Común” that features all original flamenco compositions. Pascual will have just returned from the 2023 Havana Jazz Festival in Cuba when he appears at HVCC. He’s also performed with TEDx Nashville, an international tour, and since moving to Los Angeles, often performs on feature film scores. A gifted teacher, Pascual regularly hosts workshops in the United States, the Middle East, Europe and Central America.
