Rarely is an artist capable of touching the hearts and souls of people of all ages, cultures, and diverse musical backgrounds as RONI BENISE. Armed with his Spanish guitar, an amazing world class band of musicians, and elaborately choreographed dancers, NIGHTS OF FIRE! captures world music at its best, with a show that appeals to the hearts and souls of people of all ages, cultures and musical backgrounds.

Audiences thrill to his unforgettable concerts that unite his passionate music with elaborately choreographed stage shows. With his “NIGHTS OF FIRE” special airing nationwide on PBS and a U.S. tour launching in April, 2006 marks the year he unveils his electrifying show to the country.

Just as his fiery melodies and high-energy rhythms weave a stunning tapestry of emotions, RONI has always charted his own distinctive path. Since the age of eleven (when he received his first guitar) he practiced relentlessly, completely self-taught, mastering a variety of different styles that were eventually to become his own unique sound. Though unable to read a single note, he began composing original 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. “I’m always inspired by places I’ve traveled,” says BENISE, “so I’ll try to capture the essence and beauty of the different places in my melodies. It’s truly like painting on air--creating colors and lush soundscapes that take people (and me) away to a safe place with no prejudice and no boundaries.”
