Benise: Nights of Fire From Spanish flamenco to Cuban salsa to Brazilian samba, the traditions and rules of music and dance are shattered by the 50 performers who join Benise throughout the show. With his band of world-class musicians, including Karren Briggs (Yanni) and Jim Sitterly (John Tesh), Benise also invites percussionists like Munyungo (Miles Davis, Sting, Stevie Wonder), Luis Conte (Phil Collins, James Taylor, Madonna), and Kalani (Yanni) to the stage to create world rhythms that are both tribal and edgy. A Havana Horn section plays with Benise during his Cuban salsa number, and a 10-piece orchestra supports him during his bold and beautifully arranged ballads. The 19 dancers in Benise: Nights of Fire were carefully handpicked from a global pool of diverse talent: Traditional Flamenco dancers, De La Guarda performers, Broadway gypsies, and featured soloists who perform with Madonna, Gloria Estefan and Ricky Martin have all joined forces to create Benise’s female dancers — the Gitanas. Couture fashion, innovative staging and choreography give Spanish dance a fresh and luminous makeover. Benise: Nights of Fire is an inspiring family experience that celebrates “Love, Music and Life!”
