He was gifted with an innate musicality and fluid tenor voice which he colored and phrased with great expressivity. Moré was a master of all the genres of Cuban music, including son montuno, mambo, guaracha, guajira, cha cha cha, afro, canción, guaguancó, and bolero.
The eldest of eighteen children, Moré was born in Santa Isabel de las Lajas in the former province of Las Villas, in central Cuba. In 1936, at age seventeen, he left Las Lajas for Havana. His first breakthrough was winning a radio competition. He then joined Trío Matamoros (later known as Conjunto Matamoros), with which he remained several years, making a number of recordings.
In 1945 Moré went with Conjunto Matamoros to Mexico, where he performed in two of the most famous cabarets of the age, the Montparnasse and the Río Rosa. He made several recordings. Conjunto Matamoros returned to Havana, while Moré remained in Mexico, where he made several recordings for RCA Victor, together with the orchestra of Mariano Mercerón: "Me voy pal pueblo" y "Desdichado". He also recorded with Pérez Prado: "Bonito y sabroso", "Mucho corazón", "Pachito el ché", and "Ensalada de mambo". He also recorded "Dolor carabalí", which Moré considered his best composition recorded with Pérez Prado, and one he never wanted to re-record.
At the end of 1950, Moré returned to Cuba. He was a star in Mexico, Panama, Colombia, Brazil and Puerto Rico, but virtually unknown on the island. His first Cuban recording was "Bonito y Sabroso". Moré eventually decided to start his own orchestra, which he called Banda Gigante. In the years 1954 and 1955, Moré's group became immensely popular. In 1956 and 1957, it toured Venezuela, Jamaica, Haiti, Colombia, Panama, Mexico and the United States, where the group played at the Oscar ceremonies.
He died in 1963 at age 43 of cirrhosis. An estimated 100,000 fans attended his funeral.

The song "Maracaibo Oriental" by Beny Moré is a celebration of the Venezuelan city of Maracaibo and its lively spirit. The lyrics are an invitation to dance and enjoy life, reflecting the upbeat tempo of the music. The repetition of "Pa que to lo baile, Pa que to lo goze" reinforces the idea of having a good time, and the references to Havana and its love for dance demonstrate the universality of the joy that music and dancing can bring.
The lyrics suggest that the inspiration for this song comes from the heart, as Beny Moré sings "me sale del corazon" and "con gana'tencion seniores, esta la'impiracion." This indicates that the creation of music is an emotional and passionate process, and that Beny Moré is fully invested in the message of the song.
In addition to the vibrant lyrics, the song's instrumentation should also be noted. The use of percussion, horns, and strings creates a dynamic and lively sound that further emphasizes the joy and excitement of the music.
