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.
