Roni Benise

Roni Benise (born 20th century), best known as Benise (pronounced Ba- niece), is an American guitarist who describes his style as "nouveau spanish flamenco."

After growing up in Nebraska, Benise moved to Los Angeles, California, to pursue rock stardom. After hearing flamenco music on the radio, he switched from electric guitar to nylon-stringed classical guitar.

He began busking on the street and playing neighborhood theaters and flea markets. From these performances, he quickly established a following. Benise came up with an act that married Latin rhythms to a circus atmosphere. He fuses world music (specifically, strongly Latin-flavored styles such as flamenco, salsa, tango, and samba underscored by African tribal rhythms) with rock, to create a sound that appeals to mainstream music fans and aficionados of world music.

The mixture caught the attention of the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) and led to his 2006-2007 Nights of Fire! production that has aired on many PBS-affiliated stations, and won an Emmy Award. The show is a blend of theater and music, drawing from Spanish flamenco, Argentine tango, and Brazilian samba.

Slow Down

by: Pennywise

Responsibility is a foreign word to me
it's time to buckle down
time to stand your ground
set any way of life for which you abide by
while not always the ways you would take
set them before you make a mistake
open your eyes and see
I've got too much fun ahead of me
I've got too much fun ahead of me
reality doesn't, it doesn't refer to me
the real worlds no big deal
what's real is what you feel
so tell me now buddy: what are you gonna do?
Will you take advice from me?
Will you be who you wanna be?
You could be going down along ways before me
I've got too much fun ahead of me
I've got too much fun ahead of me
reality doesn't, it doesn't refer to me
the real worlds no big deal, what's real is what you feel
so tell me now buddy: what are you gonna do?
Will you take advice from me?
Will you be who you wanna be?
You could be going down along ways before me
I've got too much fun ahead of me
