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

FANTASTIC CD, MARC ROCKS. THE MOVIE IS GREAT JLO AND MARC DID AN AWESOME JOB. TOO BAD THE CRITICS BASHED THE MOVIE. THE OPENING OF THE MOVIE WILL BRING CHILLS UP AND DOWN YOUR BACK.

4 out of 5 stars Buena Banda Sonora De La Pelicula.......2007-08-04

When I heard this album, I expected for Marc Anthony to adapt to Hector Lavoe's style to interpret the songs, not just imitate his voice (UJUM!, Van Lester)!!! and anyone else that can a buck only as a Hector Lavoe imitator or Hector Lavoe "covers" orquestras. And I think Marc Anthony accomplished that without using completely his vocal range. Remember, Hector Lavoe was not known for that, but more the way he spills his emotions and interacts with his public with his phrases on stage. The songs chosen are some of the obvious popular tunes, some that are not really the most popular tunes from his catalog. I guess that might depend where you lived in that era, PR, NYC, South America, the favorites vary slightly by market or area. I have not seen the movie yet, but I imagine the reason these songs were chosen for this sountrack is because it fit the best with the "movie's standpoint" of Hector Lavoe's live. You can't compare salsa quality from the Fania era, that is something that is locked and treasured, but I think for 2007 this album is done musically very good. It's a well done album with a great musical quality in today's standards, (stop comparing with the Fania era, that was the sacred time golden age of salsa and is never coming back). I recommend highly this album. The main reason I gave this album four stars is the last song, by Jennifer Lopez, it is very out of place from the other songs

3 out of 5 stars *** Great Songs Re-Made... Not Quite the Same! ***.......2007-08-04

Let me start by saying that I am one of those hardcore Hector Lavoe fanatics that gets up to dance every time any one of Lavoe's songs starts playing - be it in a restaurant, a nightclub, "la calle", you name it...

Hector Lavoe had an undeniable talent captivating the audiences with not only his voice, but his personal style back in the 70's and early 80's... Let's face it, there will never be music like Lavoe's (which is also true for all the other big "Salsa Gorda" Soneros - e.g. Tito Rodriguez, Ismael Rivera, Tito Puente, just to mention a few) - Even though I believe Mark Anthony did a great job acting in Hector's capacity (I realized this after seeing the film), Hector's music is still unparalleled today and always will be (which should not be unexpected). Objectively speaking, these songs make more sense in the movie than they do when put together as a standalone compact-disc. For my everyday listening and dancing leisure, I would much rather enjoy the unadulterated Lavoe's originals (which I do not think is particularly unexpected).

What I really expected from Mark Anthony was for him to incorporate some of his own flavor into this production. Mark Anthony is gifted in his own ways, and he should have allowed for this album to stand-out by being a little bit more like himself. Should he have done this, we would have ended up with one of the best salsa CD's ever - After all, this was a great opportunity for Mark to interpret, and not just imitate, during the remaking of some of yesterday's most-treasured salsa classics while concurrently allowing himself to reach today's "newer" salsa crowds... And as far as us consumers go - Why buy a less-than-perfect replica, when you can listen to the crème de la crème - which has stood the test of time?

Overall, this CD lacks originality and since Mark's intentions were to mirror Lavoe verbatim, I should write my evaluation with that in mind... And no, there is no Mark Lavoe.

5 out of 5 stars Some extremely HOT music........2007-08-01

One song in particular "AQUANILE" is really hot, hot, hot. If you don't want to get up and dance to this, you must be dead.

3 out of 5 stars Great soundtrack...up until track 10!.......2007-07-30

I really was enjoying this CD! 9 tracks of 70's style Salsa (something I grew up listening to) done with new arrangements and STELLAR vocals by the swesome Marc Anthony...

...up until track 10! I really, REALLY wish hubby Marc would be honest with Jen and tell her SHE CAN'T SING! A well written song with a HORRIBLE singer, brings this CD down from 5 stars to a 3! Talk about buzz kill.

A high recommend, if you can somehow edit out the 10th track.

Album Description

El Cantante - The Originals - Hector Lavoe

Héctor 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.

Héctor Lavoe siempre será una fuente de tributos, álbumes, portadas, obras de teatro, y películas. Esta colección de temas originales remasterizados otorgan la atención que se merece el gran cantante. Adicionalmente, contiene canciones clásicas que grabo con Willie Colon. La comunidad latina continuara sintiendo el impacto de Lavoe, pero en realidad, no hay nada mejor que escuchar este álbum original remasterizado.

4 out of 5 stars Very Good... but windows does not display titles correctly.......2007-07-12

Those who like Hector Lavoe will enjoy this cd. Although the quality is not excellent (I heard the original LP in one of my neighbor's sound system and liked the sound and was amazed by the coda of Periodico de Ayer, an almost classical part at the end of the song with violins which lamentably is not included in this CD.)
I also like Dia de Suerte. How the chorus begins at "destiempo"... had not noticed it? uhmm.

5 out of 5 stars MAESTRO CALAMARO.......2006-03-08

Calamaro despliega en este compacto, toda su maestría, llevándonos a lugares insospechados. Directo, puro y sin vainas, Calamaro es lo que nos tiene acostubrados, un varón.

5 out of 5 stars muy bueno..........2005-03-23

Este disco trae consigo una carga emocional que se manifiesta en el titulo. La "clase" de Calamaro sale a la luz por primera vez luego de su etapa con Los Rodriguez a través de la interpretacion propia de canciones ajenas escogidas por él, además de 3 temas propios de muy buen factura. Aqui se demuestra que no se necesita la mejor voz del mundo para ser un excelente Cantante. Definitivamente uno de mis discos preferidos.

5 out of 5 stars I like this.......2004-12-04

I have never heard of andres before and came across one of his songs on Tv and so i decided to purchase this.
It's good.
very good.

there is some sort of intimacy that he's able to create with these songs despite the fact that he falls out of key at times when he sings. But that's ok. for some reason it works.
You won't mind after you realize the songs are powerful and very touching. The soul is there.

5 out of 5 stars Juerga en el bar Calamaro.......2004-04-21

De solo escuchar su voz de consuetudinario bebedor (no decimos que lo sea, lo parece), de asiduo concurrente a bares de mala muerte (tampoco nos consta, insistimos, lo parece), ya nos imaginamos el clima perfecto para deglutir como se debe las canciones de "El Cantante", no otra cosa que el nuevo lanzamiento de Andrés Calamaro.
Hay un aroma que flota desde los parlantes cuando empieza la primera pincelada de "Malena", un tango, y es ese olor a cosa íntima, a proximidad de quien te canta a escasos metros sobre un escenario de madera. Y de solo escucharlo cantar así, nos imaginamos -de fondo- el sonido de las copas en el delirio de los brindis, el olor a tabaco, y las incandescentes risas ebrias que le dan vida a la bohemia.
Una virtud inequívoca de Calamaro. No es nada raro terminar abrazados a la radio luego de embriagarnos con sus canciones. "El Cantante" es una excusa perfecta para que el músico argentino, con desfachatez total, le dé vuelta a himnos tradicionales del canto popular -venga de la mano del folclor, del bolero, del tango (ya lo dijimos), de la trova- imprimiéndole su sello personal: la voz abierta y desprolija. Despreocupada y sensible. Humana. Decíamos, la del tipo que se cuelga al escenario para matizar una noche cualquiera de fin de semana.
Por eso, "El Cantante" es una delicia de disco. Puede cortarnos las venas con "Alfonsina y el mar", la flagelante historia de la poetisa argentina Alfonsina Storni, muerta por propia voluntad abrazada por las olas, cuya versión más conocida la hemos escuchado en la voz de Mercedes Sosa (aunque también la han hecho Tania Libertad y el italiano Franco Simone); nos toca la respiración con "Algo contigo" y "Voy a perder la cabeza por tu amor" (¿se acuerdan del `Puma' Rodríguez?); y nos devuelve atrás con "El arriero" de Atahualpa Yupanqui y "El Cantante", original de Rubén Blades.
"El Cantante" termina siendo la rebeldía de Calamaro contra su propia incontinencia creativa. Su pasado inmediato tiene el inusual (y delirante) prontuario de 37 canciones en el "Honestidad brutal", 103 del quíntuple "El salmón" y miles más que el ex Abuelos de la Nada y Los Rodríguez tenía escritas para un nuevo álbum que no salió y que puso al servicio de los cibernautas en Internet. Y es que el buen Andrés pateó su propio tablero y decidió, siguiendo la trayectoria del salmón (a contracorriente), sacar, pues, un álbum repleto de versiones.
El álbum, producido por Javier Limón (también a cargo de "Cositas buenas", el último de Paco de Lucía), tiene, además, espacio para composiciones propias de Calamaro. Son tres y de muy buena factura, sobre todo "Estadio azteca" y "Las oportunidades", las que junto a "La libertad", logran un efecto deliciosamente nostálgico.
En conjunto, "El Cantante" es el disco ideal que abriga en el frío, que alberga las penas y la soledad, y que puede convertirse en un talismán personal. Si llega a sus manos no sabrá desprenderse de él.

1 out of 5 stars Calamaro no me gusta.......2004-04-16

Uno de los misterios del mundo es que a alguien le gusten los temas de Andrés, sobre todo porque no hay originalidad, se entiende muy mala leche de fondo en las letras (muy argentino)y además sus producciones no aportan nunca nada nuevo. Pero si han premidao a otros porteños con tan poco talento como Fito y lanzado también a Coti, debe ser que el mercado está sordo y desorientado. Prefiero a Charly, Gieco, Spinetta, Moris...
