Formed in 1925 by Miguel Matamoros (Santiago de Cuba, 8 May 1894 – 15 April 1971; guitar), Rafael Cueto (Santiago de Cuba, 14 March 1900 – 7 August 1991; guitar) and Siro Rodriguez (Santiago de Cuba, 9 December 1899 – Regla, 29 March 1981; maracas and claves). All three were singers and composers.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Trio Matamoros played boleros and son. They toured all Latin America and Europe and recorded in New York. In 1940 Guillermo Portabales performed with the trio. Matamoros expanded the trio into a conjunto for a trip to Mexico and hired the young Beny Moré as singer from 1945 to 1947. They recorded many 78rpm records and LPs; some of their output is available on CDs. The group were renowned for the harmony of their voices, and the quality of the lyrics.\u003c/p\u003e","musicPath":"/music/Trio+Matamoros","playStationPath":"/stations/271172488/play","stationId":271172488,"bioPath":"/music/Trio+Matamoros/_full_bio","similars":[{"musicPath":"/music/Elena+Burke","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/ce0/ce0983d84b5bc013f97c658aadb69968_md.jpg","artistName":"Elena Burke","artistId":105569,"station_id":281290936},{"musicPath":"/music/Joseito+Fernandez","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/f0d/f0d88142d3cadf3752ff5ce977b07700_md.jpg","artistName":"Joseito Fernandez","artistId":88710,"station_id":271171982},{"musicPath":"/music/Henry+Fiol","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/4c2/4c2a0d70a4d17e1388deee22d57a381b_md.jpg","artistName":"Henry Fiol","artistId":88673,"station_id":271172242},{"musicPath":"/music/Compay+Segundo+Eliades+Ochoa","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/d42/d42680027d35e1bfb2db68ce3eafbd73_md.jpg","artistName":"Compay Segundo \u0026 Eliades Ochoa","artistId":88635,"station_id":271172217},{"musicPath":"/music/Raul+Paz","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/74e/74ecc1f375ac4c91e1412f368370d381_md.jpg","artistName":"Raul Paz","artistId":103306,"station_id":280764390},{"musicPath":"/music/Chico+O+Farrill","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/25b/25bca3e76c5beeeaef5dc3cbdcf20b9e_md.jpg","artistName":"Chico O'Farrill","artistId":88634,"station_id":271172214},{"musicPath":"/music/Grupo+Sierra+Maestra","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/321/3211703f40081078b027b7bccd816e23_md.jpg","artistName":"Grupo Sierra Maestra","artistId":105779,"station_id":286559117},{"musicPath":"/music/Albita","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/d50/d5077fc1da8b09e868a1adafab6223f6_md.jpg","artistName":"Albita","artistId":82910,"station_id":270484799},{"musicPath":"/music/Chico+Alvarez","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/d41/d41c3700c176057c992995bf89a45a6a_md.jpg","artistName":"Chico Alvarez","artistId":95848,"station_id":276275865},{"musicPath":"/music/Roberto+Faz","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/9ea/9eac32b473f7bb0e3e4d682b59b04551_md.jpg","artistName":"Roberto Faz","artistId":88792,"station_id":271172478},{"musicPath":"/music/Orquesta+America","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/719/719560ad11aa516eb4993e1f04179294_md.jpg","artistName":"Orquesta America","artistId":101456,"station_id":280763750},{"musicPath":"/music/Orlando+Cachaito+Lopez","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/be9/be95f78cfb8b259a4313c28a32d9e8d4_md.jpg","artistName":"Orlando \"Cachaíto\" López","artistId":8184,"station_id":113635876},{"musicPath":"/music/Sexteto+Nacional","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/1e6/1e610bb9181d32efa19d70ab572119b1_md.jpg","artistName":"Sexteto Nacional","artistId":98429,"station_id":276810753},{"musicPath":"/music/Pio+Leiva","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/753/7535e911965f7cb9ab84b089c51233f4_md.jpg","artistName":"Pio Leiva","artistId":88791,"station_id":271172477},{"musicPath":"/music/Juan+Formell+Y+Los+Van+Van","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/bf0/bf0159de1cbef7f47dd87d0bbfd6dc19_md.jpg","artistName":"Juan Formell Y Los Van Van","artistId":88254,"station_id":270854105},{"musicPath":"/music/Olga+Guillot","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/2b9/2b982f7a4eeaeae283f119d1de2a17c4_md.jpg","artistName":"Olga Guillot","artistId":104946,"station_id":281861782},{"musicPath":"/music/Duo+Los+Compadres","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/321/321b54fbc287e799fecbc13ebf799eb3_md.jpg","artistName":"Duo Los Compadres","artistId":88648,"station_id":271172227},{"musicPath":"/music/tirso+duarte","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/941/941db4ecfb73e892703fccdb7be3f00b_md.jpg","artistName":"tirso duarte","artistId":109648,"station_id":282140727}]}
