Trio Matamoros, a gem of Cuban music, was formed by Miguel Matamoros, Siro Rodriguez, and Rafael Cueto in Santiago de Cuba in 1925. The group quickly established themselves as one of the most popular and influential trios of their time, celebrated for their contributions to the son cubano genre, a style that blended Spanish canción and African rhythms. Their music was characterized by tight vocal harmonies, catchy tunes, and poignant lyrics, which often addressed themes of love, patriotism, and the human experience.

Throughout their career, Trio Matamoros delighted audiences with their innovative sound and became ambassadors of Cuban music, touring across Latin America and Europe. Their influence extended far beyond their active years, inspiring future generations of musicians with their recordings. Although new releases like "Son de las Loma (Remastered)" and "Calor Caribeño: La Pasión del Verano con el Trio Matamoros" suggest recent activity, these are likely modern remasterings or compilations of their classic works, as the original members of Trio Matamoros have long since passed away. Nevertheless, their musical legacy continues to resonate, evident by the continued remastering and celebration of their timeless catalog.
