I highly recommend this album.
Marc Anthony is an amazing singer and his interpretation of Hector Lavoe songs is really fabulous!
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 Qui?ones 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.
Free Music Review: I Love It
Hit: 5 Stars
I just saw the movie a few nights ago and I had not heard much of Hector's music before this. I love the CD! The production and playing is incredible. I think Marc does a great job and I am looking forward to exploring more of his stuff too.

It goes without question that Marc's musical gifts do great justice to Hector Lavoe's songs. While it may be argued that one might as well buy the originals one cannot overlook the fact the both the movie and this CD will introduce many to the works and life of Hector Lavoe who would have otherwise not even know of his existence. Get this CD and the originals both on sale on Amazon!
