About the Artist

Benise, known as 'The Prince of Spanish Guitar,' is a virtuoso guitarist and composer who began his musical journey as a self-taught street performer. Since receiving his first guitar at age eleven, he has relentlessly honed a unique style blending Nuevo Flamenco, Spanish guitar, and world music influences from Spain, Africa, Brazil, and beyond. His live shows are immersive theatrical experiences featuring flamenco dancers, cirque performers, and diverse percussionists, creating a vibrant celebration of music, love, and life. Fans admire how Benise’s music transports listeners to culturally rich places through lush, emotional arrangements even though he can’t read music, proving that passion and creativity often trump formal training. Starting with over 200 street performances a year, his rise to sold-out theaters is a testament to his hard work and infectious energy.
