Cuba Feliz is a critically acclaimed 2000 musical documentary film directed by French filmmaker Karim Dridi. Billed as a "musical road movie," it captures the raw soul and vibrant spirit of street music throughout Cuba


The documentary follows Miguel Del Morales, a charismatic 76-year-old nomadic Cuban troubadour affectionately known as "El Gallo" (The Rooster). Armed with only his guitar, a weathered voice, and an uninhibited passion for music, El Gallo wanders across locations like Havana, Guantanamo, and Trinidad. [1, 2, 3, 4]

Along his journey, he plays in backyards, bars, stairwells, and trains, crossing paths with local musical legends, old-time orchestras, salsa stars, bolero singers, and neighborhood rappers. The film functions as an intimate celebration of community, improvisation, and the deep-rooted resilience of the Cuban people. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Seventy-six-year-old Cuban street musician Miguel Del Morales, known as El Gallo (The Rooster), travels around Cuba with his guitar, making music in the homes of friends, in bars, and on street corners, in courtyards and stairwells. His rich voice, colored by a lifetime of cigarettes and rum, weathered by the sun and rain, bespeaks the joys and sufferings of his countrymen. An urban troubadour, Del Morales has been called "a living memory of Cuban bolero."
