Benny More: Hoy Como Ayer

Benny More: Hoy Como Ayer

Nicknamed "El Barbaro del Ritmo", Benny More had an overwhelmingly striking and charismatic personality. Though he never received musical training, he was a wonderful singer and composer, and arguably the most well rounded artist in a country known for producing outstanding musicians.

Directed by Ilena Rodriguez - and with musical supervision by Maria Elana Mendiola - this DVD tells the story of the most legendary figure in Cuban popular music of all times. From his humble origins as a farmer, to his debut in the Matamoros group, to his sojourn in Mexico, More's legacy can be felt as strongly today - 40 years after his death - as ever before.

He developed a unique style of singing rumba, boleros, guaracha, mambo and guaguanco.
