St. Petersburg, FLA (September 4, 2019) – This Fall, Benise will headline at the Duke Energy Center for the Arts – Mahaffey Theater on Friday, October 11th at 8:00 pm. Armed with his Spanish guitar, Benise will take the audience on an unprecedented and epic adventure through Spanish Flamenco, Cuban Salsa, Brazilian Samba, Parisian Waltz, exotic drumming, and more.
Benise composes 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. A beautiful and charming Spanish courtyard is the backdrop as Benise debuts all new music, dance, and costumes. A musical journey that includes the ‘Dress of a Thousand Roses’ and many more surprises.
Benise handpicked the “Gitanas,” the dancers in Fuego!, from a global pool of brilliantly diverse talent. In breathtaking couture and innovative staging and choreography, they give Spanish dance a fresh and luminous makeover.
