Ten years later, at the end of 2016, Daniel KFOURI eturned during the 9-day official mourning that followed the Cuban leader's death on November 25 this year.
KFOURI drove Cuba from Havana to Santiago de Cuba, about 950km in a car from the year 1950.
Hi-Fi is based on the prominence of the blue and red colors, which show that fidelity to the Cuban political model among citizens resists, but admiration for the United States is growing, showing globalization in Cuban daily life." (freely translated publisher's note, © Tempo Imagem, 2018)

"O livro é o resultado de duas viagens a Cuba. A primeira em dezembro de 2006 até fevereiro de 2007, quando o presidente Fidel Castro (1926- 2016) – no poder do país de 1959 à 2008 – já se mostrava doente, mas cujo real estado de saúde não era divulgado.
Dez anos depois, no final de 2016, Daniel voltou durante o luto oficial de 9 dias que sucedeu a morte do líder cubano, em 25 de novembro deste ano.
Daniel percorreu Cuba de Havana até Santiago de Cuba, por cerca de 950Km, em um carro do ano de 1950.
Hi-Fi está embasado no protagonismo das cores azul e vermelho, que mostram que a fidelidade ao modelo político cubano entre os cidadãos resiste, mas cresce a admiração pelos EUA, mostrando a globalização no dia-a-dia cubano." (© Dabiel KFOURI, 2018)
