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  )

 Marc Anthony at his Best September 28, 2008
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
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
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.

THE SERVICE WAS PROMPT AND THE PRODUCT WAS LIKE NEW. I RECOMEND THIS USER'S PRODUCTS.

In an environment of free speech it is expected that someone would say something negative about this album. I must disagree strongly, Marc Anthony shows and shares the wonderful gift that has been given to him.
As they say "imitaion is the sincerest form of flattery". Somone else said it best when they said that Hector lavoe would be proud of Marc Athony.
This album sounds great, and if you like Lavoe, you will not be let down if you get this cd.
