The cover design by Niko is a masterwork of Cuban graphic design—a stunning modernist illustration of a rooster (gallo) rendered in bold, flat colors against a black night sky and deep blue ground. The rooster's body is composed of geometric shapes in vibrant green, white, orange, and magenta, with an exuberant white tail that curves dramatically upward. The bright orange comb and wattle contrast with the bird's white beak and striking circular eye. The title "CUBA QUE LINDA ES CUBA" appears in stacked yellow-orange letterforms on the left. The composition embodies Cuban visual culture—the rooster as a symbol of Cuban national identity, pride, and vitality, rendered with the sophisticated simplicity characteristic of 1970s Cuban design. The back cover features a simplified white rooster silhouette against black, creating elegant negative space that mirrors the front's bold graphic impact.
