Synopsis

Valentín Elizalde, known as "El Gallo de Oro" (The Golden Rooster), was a voice that defined an era in regional Mexican music. A legend before his time, his powerful, yet off-key, vocal style made him an icon, with songs that resonated deeply with fans in Mexico and beyond. From his humble beginnings to his rise to stardom, "El Gallo de Oro" is the compelling story of a man who sang from the heart, even when the lyrics were dark, and the stakes were deadly. Born in 1979, Elizalde’s music blended romance, rebellion, and the rawness of life in Mexico’s turbulent drug underworld. His hits like "Vete Ya," "Ebrio de Amor," and "Soy Así" captivated millions, while his narcocorridos — ballads celebrating notorious figures like El Chapo — brought both fame and danger. His career catapulted him into the limelight, but as his popularity soared, so did the risks that came with it. The film will explore Elizalde’s rise from his modest roots to the heights of fame, highlighting his struggle to reconcile his love for music with his ties to a violent and lawless world. It will delve into his controversial involvement with narcocorridos and the challenges of staying true to his artistry while being entangled in the cartel-driven world he inadvertently became a part of.
