Héctor Lavoe - A Man and His Music: La Voz (2007)

Genre: salsa dura, guaguancó

Length: 151:09

The sonorous and instantly gripping voice of legendary salsero Héctor Lavoe, commonly known only as La Voz (The Voice) in Latin America, takes you on a trip through the barrios of New York City to introduce you to the sound of the latino working class: salsa! In this wonderful compilation curated by Fania Records, the leading salsa record company throughout the 1970s, the listener is treated to the same everyday songs that my grandma and all of my tías adored in their heydays.

One struggles to describe the blissful nostalgia that can be felt hearing the blare of Willie Colón's trumpet, accompanied by an assortment of backing singers and, of course, La Voz himself. The first track, Aguanilé (watered down), takes strong influences from native tribal and Yoruba vodún ritual music. Quickly ushered back into the world of traditional salsa for the rest of the album, one cannot go without hearing Lavoe's all-time classic, El Cantante (The Singer), or miss the Puerto Rican New Yorker anthem, Mi Gente (My People). No matter how you're approaching this album, you're sampling a piece of Latin American cultural history that has lasted, and will continue to last, generations. My favorite song on this compilation is Periódico de Ayer (Yesterday's Newspaper), probably the greatest breakup song written from the male perspective written in our time.
