"The music will certainly leave the listener with a joyful and playful feeling; Peñas' focus on making good heartfelt music is a breath of fresh air." JazzTimes.

Barcelona-born guitarist, arranger, and composer Oscar Peñas was already a widely respected figure on the international jazz scene before settling in New York City in 2007, having spent time in Boston during his studies at the New England Conservatory and Berklee College of Music. Since then, he has truly blossomed, producing a unique body of work that weaves together elements of jazz, Spanish folk music, and the European classical tradition.
