Hector Lavoe - Comedia LP 180g Remastered VMP 2023 Salsa Mint
I have found Fania recording don't sound that good, Now this remastered reissue is a different story Fantastic
So glad VMP picked this up. This and La Voz were the only Lavoe LP's I didn't have original copies of, and this one especially was crazy expensive. So it was a good feeling to know that I would be getting the Kevin Gray cut soon. And now it's here, and it sounds specatcular. The glossy jacket printed at RTI is the cherry on top. Sleeve note booklet is very good too, and there is an original insert. I can't imagine an OG copy would come close!
Comedia (Comedy) is the third solo album by the Puerto Rican musician Héctor Lavoe. It was released on 1978 under the label of Fania Records. It is notable for the song "El Cantante", which was written by Rubén Blades. In 2006, Hispanic included the album on its list of 10 classic salsa albums. The album was named one of the 50 greatest salsa albums of all time by Rolling Stone in October 2024.
Héctor Juan Pérez Martínez (September 30, 1946 – June 29, 1993), better known as Héctor Lavoe, was a Puerto Rican salsa singer. Lavoe is considered to be possibly the best and most important singer and interpreter in the history of salsa music because he helped to establish the popularity of this musical genre in the decades of 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. His personality, style and the qualities of his voice led him to a successful artistic career in the whole field of Latin music and salsa during the 1970s and 1980s. The cleanness and brightness of his voice, coupled with impeccable diction and the ability to sing long and fast phrases with total naturalness, made him one of the favorite singers of the Latin public.
In 1967, Lavoe joined Willie Colón's band as its vocalist, recording several hit songs, including "El Malo" and "Canto a Borinquen." Lavoe moved on to become a soloist and formed his own band performing as lead vocalist. As a soloist, Lavoe recorded several hits including: "El cantante" composed by Rubén Blades, "Bandolera" composed by Colón, and "Periódico de ayer", composed by Tite Curet Alonso. During this period he was frequently featured as a guest singer with the Fania All Stars recording numerous tracks with the band
