Spanish composer. In 1721 he was admitted as choirboy at the Cathedral
of Salamanca where he received music lessons from Antonio de Yanguas.
From 1724 he was under the supervision of Juan Francés de Iribarren,
organist there. It was precisely Martín Ramos who succeeded his teacher
Iribarren as first organist during which time he unsuccessfully applied
for the positions of chapel master at the cathedrals of Zamora and
Santiago de Compostela. In 1754, a few months after Master Yanguas
death, he won the official post of chapel master at the Cathedral of
Salamanca in a post he held the rest of his life. He also spent whole of
his life in Salamanca almost with no traveling anywhere and composing
at least 700 works, most of them sacred music.
