El Bárbaro del Ritmo - Beny Moré!!!!!!!!!!!

Beny Moré (that's right, one n) was born a poor peasant worker in Santa Isabel de las Lajas on August 24, 1919.

Uneducated and alcoholic, he was the best male singer of son and boleros in Cuban history, and made Cuban music popular in Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela, Panama, Brazil and Puerto Rico, along with his first bandleader Perez Prado.

The rum that he so loved finally did him in on February 19, 1963, at the age of 43. Here are some of my favorites ..
