Roni Benise - Mi amor ( My love )
Показать описание
Roni Benise , best known as Benise, is an American guitarist who describes his style as "nouveau Spanish flamenco."
After growing up in Nebraska, Benise moved to Los Angeles, California, to pursue rock stardom. After hearing flamenco music on the radio, he switched from electric guitar to nylon-stringed classical guitar.
He began busking on the street and playing neighborhood theaters and flea markets. From these performances, he quickly established a following. Benise came up with an act that married Latin rhythms to a circus atmosphere. He fuses world music (specifically, strongly Latin-flavored styles such as flamenco, salsa, tango, and samba underscored by African tribal rhythms) with rock, to create a sound that appeals to mainstream music fans and aficionados of world music.
For Benise, music has always been a journey…from his humble beginnings as a street performer, to performing around the world. “I wanted to push the boundaries of traditional Nuevo Flamenco/Spanish guitar while combining the elements of dance and theater. This show is a celebration of culture--the culmination of all the shows we’ve done over the last 10 years.” comments composer, virtuoso guitarist and creative force behind the event, BENISE.
Benise kicks off his 10 Year Anniversary Tour with a new PBS Special and DVD – ‘Benise: Strings of Passion,’ a Special Edition 2-CD Set and also releases his first book, ‘Benise: The Notes Less Traveled.’
