 Different...as in "special" July 3, 2006
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
Having a selection of Benise's CDs as well as having seen them perform live,I can tell you that this is a very special group,
with both a quality of musicianship as well as a variety of
musical influences that set them apart from the rest of the
"world-music" crowd...if you like South American/Latin American
music,with a healthy dose of spanish guitar and exotic percussion ,with a rhythm section that is both tasty AND tight,
check out everything in the Benise catalog...you'll really enjoy it!

Benise is a must have. If you want to experience a new kind of music that will take you on a range of emotions and a musical journey like no other artist can then you must add Mediteranea to your collection.

MEDITERRANEA CD-BENISE June 8, 2006
6 out of 7 found this review helpful
I am a Benise fan and supporter.
Mediterranea is a CD filled with wonderful rhythms, and a feeling of being transported to a place where you can let your imagination run freely.
Amazing how an artist has been so gifted with the ability to write such moving music in which the listener can take the time to relax, get away from everyday pressures to be taken to another part of the world which he/she chooses.
From the sensuous Monserrat to the deep "Bridge of Sighs" every piece has its significance.
Santa Barbara is a catchy tune which actually makes me feel like I am there enjoying all the sights.
Mr. Benise puts passion into every piece of music he composes and the listener can feel it. I think that is what makes him such a blessing to the music industry. We need music like his.
Thanks Mr. Benise.
I recommend this CD!!

This Benise CD will transport you to the beaches of the world, if you let it take you. Just close your eyes and let the beautiful music wash over you and carry you far away. That's what I do! When I listen to this CD I travel to the Mediterranean Sea, along the coast of Spain. I have fantasies of dancing in the sand by a fire out near the water on a warm night, while Benise plays in a nearby cove. The music of Benise stimulates the imagination and creativity, at least in me. Of course my favorite track on this particular Benise CD is Santa Barbara. The track Sangria also gets a lot of play at my house, because the percussion is awesome. This is one of my favorites in the Benise CD library because not only does it take me to different places in my mind it also takes me to different places in my heart.
Outstanding composition March 27, 2006

I've been listening to this for 3 years, and it's one of my favorite CDs of all time. I find the composition incredibly original and melodious, and I love the varied percussion.
All of Benise's music is definitely "highly accessible". You don't already have to be a nouveau flamenco fan or a world music fan to like it. It's "ethnically flavored" nouveau flamenco, and some purists may hate it...to each their own. Mediterranea has a Mediterranean influence, while "Carnaval" is Brazilian and "Spanish Nights" is more traditional (Spanish).
