Rarely is an artist capable of touching the hearts and souls of people of all ages, cultures, and diverse musical backgrounds as RONI BENISE. Armed with his Spanish guitar, an amazing world class band of musicians, and elaborately choreographed dancers, NIGHTS OF FIRE! captures world music at its best, with a show that appeals to the hearts and souls of people of all ages, cultures and musical backgrounds.
Audiences thrill to his unforgettable concerts that unite his passionate music with elaborately choreographed stage shows.
Just as his fiery melodies and high-energy rhythms weave a stunning tapestry of emotions, RONI has always charted his own distinctive path. Since the age of eleven (when he received his first guitar) he practiced relentlessly, completely self-taught, mastering a variety of different styles that were eventually to become his own unique sound. Though unable to read a single note, he began composing original works with powerfully emotional arrangements that are both wild and refined, producing a sound that is as edgy and exotic as it is romantic and sensual. Im always inspired by places Ive traveled, says BENISE, so Ill try to capture the essence and beauty of the different places in my melodies. Its truly like painting on air--creating colors and lush soundscapes that take people (and me) away to a safe place with no prejudice and no boundaries.
In addition to organizing stunning live shows, BENISE took his career by the reins by producing, arranging and releasing six albums--plus one live DVD--on his own independent record label, Rosanegra Music. The recordings capture the expressive Spanish guitar arrangements that stem from influences around the world, carrying listeners to such culturally rich destinations as Spain, Africa, Brazil, the Mediterranean, Cuba, France and Egypt. Its almost like writing a soundtrack to a movie, notes BENISE, but a lot of my songs tell a story so theyre perfect for the stage.
As master of ceremonies, RONI takes his mesmerized audience on a romantic and exotic voyage through unbridled choreography and sounds that embrace all of the artists inspirations.
This is a great show for the whole family; I really think we have something for everyone, comments BENISE. I hope people will be inspired, by our story, by the music, by the production and have the passion to follow their own dreams. Looking ahead to future tour dates, BENISE adds, I cant wait to travel to new cities, meet new people, and play every night--its what I live for.
BENISEs NIGHTS OF FIRE! is an inspiring family experience that celebrates Music, Love, and Life."
Hello! I'm just dropping by to show you some of my latest 2010 photos from out in the Florida wilderness. My New Year's resolution is to spend more time taking more landscape shots, and to try and learn my birds - I'm too much of a botany guy :-) Click on any of the photos to see more!
I hope you like my new stuff, and I hope you are having a fantastic new year!
I had the pleasure of seeing your show in Riverside a few days ago. It was magnificent and magical. Your passion for music really came across in your performance and in your smiles, too :) Looking forward to seeing the PBS special.
