Pedro Bacán (Pedro Peña Peña) was born in Lebrija, Seville, in 1951, and was a flamenco guitarist. He devoted much of his professional life to re-inventing and preserving the traditional flamenco way of life that he had experienced in his home as a child. He recorded a few albums including "Aluricán" and "Marisma" (a live recording made during the ninth Bienal de flamenco in Seville in 1996), as well as the much acclaimed "Le Clan des Pinini", which includes soleá, bulerias, and romances, all styles popular with the gypsies of this region.

In 1980 Pedro Bacán was awarded the "Jerez Cátedra de flamenco" national prize for the guitar, and in 1983 he was also honoured by the "Musicology department" of the University of Washington. He later produced another show "Nuestra Historia del Sur", which premiered at the 1990 edition of the Flamenco Bienal in Seville (the city's biannual flamenco festival). That same year he recorded four recordings with the name of " Noches Gitanas en Lebrija", which again was a joint effort with his family members. He took on the task of recreating his family's tradition and he promoted the gypsy "family flamenco" to such a degree that without his efforts many of the old Lebrija styles of flamenco would probably be lost and forgotten in time.
