FIESTA! showcases songs from Benise’s 7 th PBS Special. Performing classic Rock anthems from Led Zeppelin
and AC/DC and fusing them with Spanish guitar and dance to bring a fierce intensity to these new
interpretations. In addition, Benise adds his signature touch to classics such as “Ave Maria, “Moonlight Sonata,”
and Vivaldi’s “Summer” from The Four Seasons.
For Benise, music has always been a journey. From his humble beginnings as a street performer, to being
featured on the #1 rated show in the USA – Dancing With The Stars, and performing around the world. “I
wanted to push the boundaries of Nuevo Flamenco/Spanish guitar while combining the elements of dance and
theater. This show is a celebration of all the shows we’ve done over the last 20 years,” comments composer,
virtuoso guitarist and creative force behind the event, Benise.
The Emmy Award-winning composer along with an international cast of musicians and dancers will entertain
audiences with a two-hour show that “is an escape from all their problems,” Benise says. “Much like the recent
PBS special, with this show I want to take the audience on an escape to Spain…to a beautiful Spanish courtyard
filled with Flamenco dancers, stunning costumes, and fiery Spanish guitars. BENISE adds, “This is a great
show for the whole family; I really think we have something for everyone. I hope people will be inspired by our
story, by the music, by the production–and have the passion to follow their own dreams. I have always loved to
travel, my heritage is Bohemian (from Prague), so I think it’s in my blood. I can’t wait to go to new cities, meet
new people, and play every night–it’s what I live for.”
