BENISE – STRUM!

Emmy Award-Winning Spanish Guitar & Dance Spectacular

Riverdance meets rock meets flamenco!

Experience an electrifying evening with Benise, the internationally acclaimed "Prince of Spanish Guitar," as he celebrates his acclaimed new album and tour, STRUM!

Armed with his signature Spanish guitar and joined by a cast of world-class musicians and dazzling dancers, Benise takes audiences on an unforgettable musical journey. From the passion of Spanish flamenco and the rhythms of Cuban salsa to Brazilian samba, Parisian waltz, exotic percussion, and beyond, STRUM! is a breathtaking fusion of music, dance, and theatrical spectacle.

Pronounced Buh-nes-say, Benise has redefined Spanish guitar by blending world music, rock energy, and dramatic choreography into a one-of-a-kind live experience. His Emmy Award-winning production has become one of the longest-running Latin-themed theatrical tours in the world.

For Benise, music has always been a journey. From humble beginnings as a street performer to appearances on the nation's top-rated television programs, including Dancing with the Stars, he has continually pushed the boundaries of Nuevo Flamenco and Spanish guitar.

"I wanted to expand what Spanish guitar could be by combining it with dance, theater, and world music," says Benise. "STRUM! is a celebration of the last 25 years of performances and the audiences who have supported us along the way."

Backed by an international cast of musicians and dancers, Benise delivers a two-hour production designed to transport audiences beyond the everyday. Alongside exciting new material, the show features audience favorites and bold interpretations of iconic works, including Led Zeppelin's "Kashmir," AC/DC's "Thunderstruck," "Ave Maria, "Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata," and Vivaldi's "Summer" from The Four Seasons.

"This is a show for the entire family," Benise says. "There's something for everyone. I hope audiences leave inspired—by the music, the story, and the reminder to follow their own dreams."
