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 Espanol
He aqui la musica que el salsero boricua grabo para acompanar su actuacion en la pelicula biografica sobre el cantante puertorriqueno Hector Lavoe. Lo interesante es que Marc Anthony hizo mucho mas que grabar las canciones de Lavoe con su estilo propio. El esposo de Jennifer Lopez frasea exactamente igual que el legendario salsero en este album, lo cual es todo un logro, ya que fue ese fraseo tan especial el que hizo a Lavoe un idolo. Ademas el sonido del disco es impecable, si le gusta la salsa este es un disco que no se puede perder. --Ernesto Sanchez (People en Espanol )

Fake. October 20, 2008
Robert J. Pena (Los Angeles, Ca)
I just don't see why people think this is such a great album. Marc Anthony doesn't sing as well as Hector Lavoe and it sounds like he is imitating him and at least I can tell, he just is not believable and if Marc Anthony is going to sing Hectors songs he should just interpret the music it in his own way. No one sings like Hector so if you like his music buy his albums you can't go wrong!

Marc Anthony at his Best September 28, 2008
Annette Lopez (Bronx, NY)
I loved the movie and the music so I bought this CD. I am extremely happy with my purchase. The music is phenomenal. Marc Anthony does Hector Lavoe some serious props here. Bravo Marc Anthony....the only disappointment here is the last trac, Jennifer Lopez's "Toma de Mi." IT TRULY SUCKS! The song stinks and her vocals sound like someone is strangulating a Sea gull. This should of never been included in this CD....Other than JLo's lousy singing and song, the CD is great. Buy it and when you get to JLo's song, stop the CD....

Mark as Hector September 15, 2008
Ms. Gthang (Los Angeles, CA)
Marc Anthony is a great singer. I wish he had more tracks on this CD. I didn't understand why J-Lo had to be on the CD. She was not featured in the movie. She was not necessary. I would have rather heard another track from Marc.

A Puerto Rican flash back! August 15, 2008
W. Betancourt (Tacoma, WA)
I bought this CD for my Puerto Rican husband and he LOVES it. He sings along and says it takes him back to his teen years in PR.
