In 1975, Héctor Lavoe stepped out as a solo star with La Voz, and the title says it all: this is the voice that came to define New York salsa.
After a string of landmark albums fronting Willie Colón's band on Fania, the Puerto Rican singer made his first record under his own name and never looked back. His tone was bright and nasal in the best way, full of street wit and sudden tenderness, and his improvised soneos could turn a song into a conversation with the dance floor. Few singers have ever sounded so at home in a groove.
The hits arrive early. "El Todopoderoso" opens the album on a devotional note, its praise carried by Lavoe's soaring lead and the band's punchy, swinging montuno. "Rompe Saragüey," his take on a Chappottín y Sus Estrellas classic, became one of his signature numbers, while "Mi Gente" is a joyous call to the people that grew into a live anthem. "Emborráchame de Amor" shows off the softer, romantic side of his phrasing.
Nearly five decades on, La Voz still sounds like a packed Saturday night uptown. It's an ideal starting point for anyone discovering salsa's golden era, and a natural shelf companion for those who already know every word.
