Bartolomé Maximiliano Moré Gutiérrez (24 August 1919 – 19 February 1963), better known as Benny Moré (also spelled Beny Moré), was a Cuban singer, bandleader and songwriter. Due to his fluid tenor voice and his great expressivity, he was known variously as "El Bárbaro del Ritmo" and "El Sonero Mayor". Moré was a master of the soneo – the art of vocal improvisation in son cubano – and many of his tunes developed this way. He often took part in controversias (vocal duels) with other singers, including Cheo Marquetti and Joseíto Fernández. Read more on Wikipedia

His biography is available in different languages on Wikipedia. Benny Moré is the 982nd most popular singer (down from 905th in 2019), the 88th most popular biography from Cuba (down from 82nd in 2019) and the 12th most popular Cuban Singer.
