–A Romantic and Exotic Journey of Music and Dance That Celebrates the Spirit of Spain–
In his fourth special for PBS, Benise, “The Prince of Spanish Guitar,” takes viewers on a romantic and exotic journey of music and dance that celebrates the fire, passion and spirit of Spain.
With a beautiful and charming Spanish courtyard as the backdrop, Benise debuts all new music, dance and costumes, adding his signature twist on such classics as “Granada,” “Malaguena,” “Moonlight Sonata,” “Asturias” and “Adagio.”
It’s a musical adventure that includes the “Dress of a Thousand Roses,” the world’s largest Flamenco fan, and many more surprises.
Armed with his Spanish guitar, Benise is backed by a stage full of musicians and elaborately choreographed dancers, handpicked by Benise from an international pool of talent.
Flamenco dancers take center stage in a tribute to Old World Spain, while breathtaking couture fashions and innovative staging and choreography give Spanish dance a fresh and luminous makeover.
“Fuego!” 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.
“Benise: Fuego! Spirit Of Spain” features performances of Espana (“Granada,” “Asturias,” “Malaguena”), “Moonlight Sonata”/“Adagio,” “Shambala,” “Tuscan Sun,” “Latin Quarter,” “Forever After,” “Rhumba Café,” “Galletto’s Jam,” “Roses to Thorns,” “Victory,” “The Duel”/”Malaguena,” “I Will Always Love U” and “Baile! Baile! (Little Havana).”
