El Cantante: The Originals Poster
H?ctor Lavoe (1946-1993) was born H?ctor Juan P?rez in Ponce, Puerto Rico, and became known to his fans simply as El Cantante (the singer). His hectic career began when he moved to New York City as a teenager and headlined with Willie Col?n's band and, later, with the Fania All-Stars. But despite a series of hits that culminated in a 1987 Grammy nomination for his final album, Strikes Back, his posthumous reputation was not nearly so widespread as it deserved to be. Then, in 2006, he became the subject of a film biography, also called El Cantante, which is now available on DVD. Starring the modern Latin-and-crossover superstar Marc Anthony, and featuring his pop star wife, Jennifer Lopez, as Lavoe's long-suffering and endlessly loyal mate, Nilda "Puchi" Roman, it captures much of the gritty, mesmerizing yet poetic urban ambience that launched his tragic but ultimately triumphant legacy. The present album gathers together several of Lavoe's most iconic tunes, many of which were covered by Anthony in the movie. However, with all due props to the younger artist, Lavoe's own interpretations are still the ones to beat. Showcased in selections composed by Johnny Pacheco and Rub?n Blades, among others, and produced by Willie Col?n, his lifelong friend and collaborator, his creamy, resonant tenor, flawless phrasing, and improvisatory zeal are so incandescently organic that he never seems to break a sweat--even as he wrings every possible iota of lyric, rhythmic and emotional truth from each tune. --Christina RodenEl Cantante - The Originals - Hector Lavoe
H??ctor Lavoe continues to be the source of tributes, covers, drama, and films. This collection of carefully remastered original songs affirms that the attention is well deserved. It features some of the classic hits he recorded together with Willie Colon. The influence of Lavoe will continue to be felt in the Latin music world, but nothing beats listening to this remastered original.
H??ctor Lavoe siempre ser?? una fuente de tributos, ??lbumes, portadas, obras de teatro, y pel??culas. Esta colecci??n de temas originales remasterizados otorgan la atenci??n que se merece el gran cantante. Adicionalmente, contiene canciones cl??sicas que grabo con Willie Colon. La comunidad latina continuara sintiendo el impacto de Lavoe, pero en realidad, no hay nada mejor que escuchar este ??lbum original remasterizado.
