HOMENAJE A BENNY MORE

Miguelito Cuni and the ensemble of Felix Chappotin give a tribute to the great Cuban singer Benny More.

Benny Moré (Bartolomé Maximiliano Moré, 24 August 1919 -- 19 February 1963), or Benny, was a gifted Cuban singer. His nickname was "Bartolo",but, when he went to Mexico, he changed his name because "Bartolo" in Mexico means "burro" or donkey. He started his career with Trio Matamoros, but, when the trio left Mexico, they left him behind, so he stayed there and started his career with Damaso Perez Prado, then they have an argument and Benny started his solo career and recorded with many great Mexican and Cuban bandleaders of the time. Later on the he formed his own orchestra in Cuba. He was a heavy drinker and died as a consequence of his drinking at the early age of 43. He was a self taught singer and composer. He could sing anything with exceptional quality.
