Later, Morel Campos became a student of the composer Manuel Gregorio Tavárez, "The Father of the Danza".

The influence of Tavárez, plus the particular style developed by Morel Campos can be listened to in his music today.

Morel Campos is best known for his danza compositions, but he also composed waltzes, operas, symphonies, marches and overtures.

His great love was a lady named Mercedes Arias, but her family did not approve of their relationship.

Among his other best-known compositions were "Felices días" (Happy Days), "No me toques" (Do Not Touch Me), and "Idilio" (Idyll).
