They commemorate in Cuba the legacy of paradigmatic vocalist Benny Moré

July 5, 2020

The second day of the Festival Ciudad del Mar de Cienfuegos commemorated the legacy of one of the paradigmatic figures of vocal interpretation on this continent, Cuban Benny Moré.

The alternative music event, arranged digitally this year due to the current situation that Covid-19 generates in Cuba and the world, highlighted last Saturday the relationship of the so-called Bárbaro del Ritmo with his native province, located about 230 kilometers east of La Habana, the country's capital.

Bartolomé Maximiliano Moré Gutiérrez stood out from a young age for an innate musical sense, with a fluid tenor voice that knew how to phrase with great expressiveness and was also known by the epithet of the Sonero Mayor de Cuba.

The Festival Ciudad del Mar de Cienfuegos included in its programming a streaming concert by the popular band Buena Fe and another by the native group Karamba.

According to the program, the leader of this latter group, Jorge Luis Robaina, will premiere on digital platforms a music video of a song of his performed together with Spanish musician Carlos Torres, thus closing off the event on a high note, which has the support of the Ministry of Culture of Cuba and the record label Egrem, among other entities.
