“Benise”, The Prince of Spanish Guitar brings his 20th. Anniversary, Emmy Award Winning Production of Guitar and Dance to The Florida Theatre on Thursday on October 7, 2021.It’s one hot night as Benise, “The Prince of Spanish Guitar,” and his Emmy Award winning production come to town. Benise unveils his 5th Special Strings of Hope on PBS and celebrates 20 years of taking audiences on a musical journey through Spanish Flamenco, Cuban Salsa, Brazilian Samba, Parisian Waltz, exotic drumming, and more!
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 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 Strings of Hope, with this show I want to take the audience on an escape…to a beautiful Spanish courtyard filled with Flamenco dancers, stunning costumes, and fiery Spanish guitars. Beyond the new material, BENISE says “the live show will incorporate some fan favorites from my street performing days and rock classics like Led Zeppelin’s “Kashmir” and AC/DC’s “Thunderstruck.”
The Theatrical World Music and Dance spectacle that has been called “The Latin Riverdance”.
