Hits by two late Latin music icons whose ballads and salsa songs are constants in playlists across generations have been inducted into the National Recording Registry at the Library of Congress. Juan Gabriel's 'Amor Eterno' and Héctor Lavoe's 'El Cantante' are among the 25 recordings and albums selected Tuesday for preservation at the nation’s audio history library.
Written and produced by fellow Fania Records alums and salsa icons Rubén Blades and Willie Colón, “El Cantante” narrates the livelihood, struggles and adversities singers face. It also describes how they must interact positively with the audience when oftentimes they are their only supporters. Born in Puerto Rico and raised in the mainland U.S., Lavoe worked as a singer and trombonist with fellow Fania Records great Johnny Pacheco and his orchestra.
