Bartolomé Maximiliano (Beny) Moré (1919-1963) was a towering figure in Cuban music who remains celebrated for his exceptional voice and charismatic performances. Commonly referred to as "El Bárbaro del Ritmo" or "The Master of Rhythm," Moré was able to seamlessly blend a variety of genres, including mambo, bolero, son montuno, and guaracha, into his music. He is widely regarded as one of the most influential Cuban musicians of the twentieth century.

Born in Santa Isabel de las Lajas in the Cienfuegos Province of Cuba, Moré traveled to Havana in the 1940s, where he quickly established himself as a talented singer. After a stint in Mexico, where he performed with the renowned Damaso Perez Prado's orchestra, Moré returned to Cuba and formed his own band, Banda Gigante, in the 1950s. The band achieved enormous success not only in Cuba but across Latin America. Although his life was tragically cut short at the age of 43, his legacy continues to be celebrated through a rich discography, including posthumous releases that ensure his artistry continues to resonate with new generations. Notable works like "Bonito y Sabroso," "Mucho Corazón," and "Oh Vida" are cherished as timeless classics that capture the heart and soul of Cuban music.
