Free Music Review: Benise - very blah
Hit: 1 Stars
I know you will all jump at me for not having heard this album directly, but I think I can say that I have heard and seen enough of Benise to say that this is crappy, sappy so called "flamenco" music. This music is cheese beyond cheese. I watched a special on PBS the other night where he was being featured and I could not get over the fact that it was like listening to the Kenny G of guitar. Yeck!! His guitar has no passion behind it and on top of that, he's grinding up there like he's playing an electric guitar <shaking my head>. There is much better music out there! Try Paco de Lucia, Tomatito, Paco Pena...and plenty more.Free Music Review: must agree, very Boring and little virtuosity
Hit: 1 Stars
I hope Ron Benise does not think he is a virtuoso. If he does, he has blinders on! This CD sounds the same as his last CD. He would not know flamenco if it slapped him in the face. I grew up listening to Sabicas and Paco de Lucia, 2 guitarists who are REAL virtuosos. They never needed to strut on stage and play the same scale over and over. There was craft and attention to detail. Not to mention beautiful melodies that have become classic! Benise does sound like a rocker who couldent make it in the rock world and decided to play a couple chords and call himself a Spanish guitarist to fool and unsuspecting audience.Free Music Review: The guy plays with a pick?!

I mean please... what more do you need to know? This is the ultimate in machismo chesse. You may enjoy the performance provided by his backup dancers and such and the driving rhythm provided by the plethora of musicians he surrounds himself with, but please don't call this guy a guitarist... he's hardly a guitarist... a showman... ok... but not a guitarist. Just about any first year music major could play this junk... using a nylon string guitar does not make you a spanish guitar virtuoso.Free Music Review: PBS Subsidy

I see that PBS is being used to "create" another "star" but there is little about the material that is original or unique. The guitarist is sophomoric and if it were not for the dancers around him, he would be better found back in the streets of Los Angeles instead of supported by viewers like you. I long for the days of Los Indios."Free Music Review: Cheezemenco!!

There are many other "flamenco-lite or nuevo flamenco" recordings out there that, although not musically challenging, have strong melodies and pretty decent guitar playing. Sorry, this is not one of them...
