HA©ctor Lavoe - La Voz

THE ONE AND ONLY LA VOZ

There are a lot of young salsa performers out there, but not one them can touch the artistry of Hector Lavoe. He and all of the other Fania artists were, and still are the best. It's a classic. La Voz is one to have if you're seriously into classic salsa! November 15, 2007

Hector LaVoe

This recording captures the artist in his prime. A must-have for anyone who loves music, period! September 20, 2007

Very Nice!

This is a very enjoyable album. It's Lavoe's first solo effort after leaving the Fania All Stars and he does a great job. I'm really happy with it. I don't know if it's his best solo album... but its good fun and a good one to have for your salsa collection. September 16, 2007

Hector's all-time classic debut album.

While never released as a single, Hector's truly superb cover version of the classic bolero "Tus Ojos" (previously recorded by both Santos Colon and Vicentico Valdes) is this album's crown jewel. In my opinion, said song is Hector's all-time best vocal performance--so much so, in fact, that I'd say it was nothing short of shameful that it wasn't issued as a single. "El Todopoderoso", "Rompe Saraguey" and "Mi Gente" were the big hits --which deservedly became classics--but "Tus Ojos" remains beautiful beyond compare. December 16, 2006

Lavoe's first solo album!!!

Here is the remastered edition of Hector Lavoe's first album. This edition includes the original cover art and an essay. It does sound much better than the previous Fania edition and it's cheaper too!
Produced by Willie Colon and featuring Mark Dimond on piano, Nicky Marrero on timbales and Ray Maldonado on trumpet, this is a New York salsa classic (1975)from beginning to end. No weak or filler tunes here.
BUY IT!!!
