After being turned down by almost every club in Los Angeles, BENISE started performing on the streets. It was not uncommon for BENISE to put on over 200 shows a year, sometimes playing 2 to 3 events in a single day. Tourists from around the world and native Angelinos alike took to BENISE like the “Pied Piper” of Spanish guitar. From there, the path of his music took on a life of its own, effortlessly opening doors along the way to attract musicians and dancers, eventually creating the extended family that is now known simply as his namesake, “BENISE.”  Thus, was born BENISE’S boutique independent musical company SPANISH GUITAR ENTERTAINMENT.
