Trío Matamoros, formed in Santiago de Cuba, Cuba, in 1925 by Miguel Matamoros,
Rafael Cueto, and Siro Rodríguez, was a Cuban trova group. Originally named Trío
Oriental, the group changed its name to Trío Matamoros in 1928 after discovering
another ensemble using the original name. Their repertoire focused on boleros

Beny Moré from 1945 to 1947. The group gave its final concert in New York City
in 1960 and announced its disbandment in May 1961. Posthumous releases include
the compilation album Un Recuer...
