Ela Troyano's La Lupe is a feature length film based on the work of the internationally renowned pop singer La Lupe, the black, Cuban-born stage diva who rose to fame with the onset of the Cuban revolution in 1960. La Lupe is renowned for emotional performances in which she would beat herself, tearing her hair out in agony over failed love affairs.
