Free Music Review: Marc's performance outshines Lavoe
Hit: 5 Stars
Being a Salsa afficionado, I know I am going to catch heat for this but I think that Marc did the songs better than Lavoe. The movie wasn't all it was cracked up to be but the soundtrack is awesome. I really can't stand Lavoe's voice, but I have always admired his improvisation skills, which were legendary. He should've been called "El Sonero de los Soneros" instead of El Cantante. Marc is the true el cantate because he really can sing and has a beautiful tenor voice. He's one of the best selling, if not the best selling salsero of all time. So give or take, I say they pretty much even out. If Marc were to improvise like Lavoe, He would've crushed him. Marc has star power unlike anyone and a charisma which rivals Lavoe. Plus Marc is not trying to imitate anyone, I wouldn't want him to imitate Lavoe.
Honestly, I rather listen to Domingo Quiñones or Victor Manuelle than Lavoe because they can both SING and Improvise, and of course El Cano who can battle with anyone, probably the best out there besides Domingo right now. And for all of those who think everyone over 40 doesn't have a right to opinionate, or think everyone over 40 has Lavoe on a pedestal, You've been proven wrong. He did alot for salsa, but I don't consider him the best.
5 stars Marc...you are the best. And Yes..i Love the Nelly Furtado penned "Toma De Mi", One of the best songs J.Lo has sang.
El Cantante Poster
Over 10 million albums sold worldwide. Awarded over 12 Latin and standard gold and platinum certifications by the RIAA. Has won a total of 16 "Premino Lo Nuestro" Awards in the span of his career. Holding the record of winning the most "Premios Lo Nuestro" Awards of all artist. Marc Anthony first single will be "Mi Gente" distributed on June 7th. Radio impact date: June 12th. Two versions will be available. Radio contests around album release date. Radio VIP will be invited on May 16th and May 24th to the movie screening in New York.There will likely be lots of scoffing at Marc Anthony's interpretation--both on disc and onscreen--of late salsa singer Hector Lavoe. But let's not forget that Anthony is a salsa superstar in his own right. He has anchored some of the genre's most thrilling moments and has taken salsa to audiences not normally exposed to the sweltering sound. The El Cantante soundtrack is a solid effort, notable for Anthony's dedication to recreating Lavoe's distinct delivery and phrasing. He puts aside his own emotive stylings for a more subdued performance on several tracks, including the celebratory "Mi Gente" and the mournful "Escandalo." Anthony is virtually unrecognizable during "Che Che Cole," "Quitate," and the standout "Que Lio," which makes the project all the more intriguing. Jennifer Lopez, Anthony's wife in real life and onscreen in El Cantante, croons pensive closing ballad "Toma de Mi." Even without the film, the soundtrack stands as an earnest homage to a tragic icon. --Joey Guerra People en Español
He aquí la música que el salsero boricua grabó para acompañar su actuación en la película biográfica sobre el cantante puertorriqueño Héctor Lavoe. Lo interesante es que Marc Anthony hizo mucho más que grabar las canciones de Lavoe con su estilo propio. El esposo de Jennifer López frasea exactamente igual que el legendario salsero en este álbum, lo cual es todo un logro, ya que fue ese fraseo tan especial el que hizo a Lavoe un ídolo. Además el sonido del disco es impecable, si le gusta la salsa este es un disco que no se puede perder. --Ernesto Sánchez (People en Español
