Nights of Fire!

 (31 customer reviews)

This album is a collection of diverse instrumental arrangements whose fluid lyricism is aptly geared towards a mainstream listening audience. The music spans and integrates many styles of (primarily Latin) music though approached via the perspective of Flamenco guitar. The music is highly accessible and lyrical which makes it suitable for a general audience and serves as a great introduction to World Music for listeners coming from rock and pop music backgrounds who want to expand their listening experience into new territories. The diversity of rhythms, styles and influence on this album also gives this music a sophistication that will be of interest to practicing musicians and composers. The music is very enjoyable and perfect for entertaining in an upbeat yet relaxing environment. Nights of Fire offers a satisfying depth that grows on the listener on each successive listening offering sustainable enjoyment with repeated exposure.

Roni Benise takes the listener on a romantic and spectacular journey of song and dance.

From the first song "Fuego", the listener is drawn in with the rhythm and passion of Mr. Benise's Spanish Guitar.

The Cuban inspired song "Salsa, Salsa" is filled with energy and the listener is instantly transported to Cuba.

The song "Mi Amor" is a deep, passionate piece of music which one can feel with the heart.

Every song on this CD moves the listener.

This CD is a must have for anyone's collection.

Mr. Benise has proven he has talent and I definitely await future releases.

Highly recommended!!

Most of the negative reviews against Ronnie seem to be on his technical ability as a guitarist.He never claims to be from Spain or authentic flamenco just that the music touched him like no other.I once watched CCR and had similar thoughts" simple chords and melodies" but their songs are classics and when you watch the audience they are having a blast.Watch the crowd in this DVD and read many of the comments.Ronnie has a gift not only to touch people with his music but to transport them.His music is beautifully romantic,sensual,festive and FUN.I think his music stands on its own,that said "Nights of Fire" is the complete package WOW.
