Hector's Classic

"THis one is one of Lavoe's great cd's. It has some of the best salsa arrangements I heard. Willie Colon was the producer of this now classic. It contains Ruben Blades' El Cantante. I liked the way the violins were incorporated into the salsa arrangements: street salsa but with violins a la classical in "periodico de ayer". Very interesting work."

A Great CD Recomended!

"If you are looking for good old school Salsa, I recomend that you buy this CD. Some of Hector Lavoe's best songs are on here, my personal favorites are "Songoro Consongo", "El Todopoderoso" and "Hacha y Machete". If you want some quality Salsa get this CD, especially if you are a fan of the late Great Hector Lavoe!"

A near-perfect collection of his 1970s solo hits.

"While no one compilation can do an artist as important and influential as Hector Lavoe full justice this CD is quite good. "El Todopoderoso", "Hacha Y Machete", "Songoro Con Songo", "El Cantante" and some of his other classics are all featured here and the sound quality is consistently good. Along with Hector's "La Voz", "De Ti Depende", "Comedia" and "Que Sentimiento" CDs this is an absolute "Salsa Dura" essential for your collection."
