Emmy® Award-Winning, Benise's (Buh-ness-say) fiery Spanish Guitar and International Dance Troupe returns in an even hotter show! See for yourself why the LA Times calls it "The Latin Riverdance."
En Fuego is Extreme Flamenco!
En Fuego, showcases classic songs from Led Zeppelin, Queen, Bach, and The Eagles...to name a few...and marries them with Spanish guitar and Spanish dance. Benise's love of both Spanish Guitar and rock brings a fierce intensity to these new interpretations of his favorite classic anthems.
The tour coincides with a PBS special and DVD release, Benise Live In China!, on World One Music, which was filmed during a sold-out tour through the Orient and China. Directed by Amy Tinkham (Paul McCartney, Britney Spears), Raf Kapoor (Josh Groban, Carrie Underwood), and with choreography by Alex Magno (Madonna, Jenifer Lopez), Benise and cast take audiences on a beautifully choreographed musical adventure of music, love, and life.
Since appearing on Dancing with the Stars, Benise has embarked on a world tour.
