Yo Soy El Cantante This famous piece was written by Ruben Blades and given to Hector Lavoe because, in the words of Ruben "Hector needed it more than him". The musical arrangement was done by Willie Colon. This song became Hector's signature song, helped to bring him back from a low in his singing career that he was going through and brough him to higher levels of fame than he'd ever been before.

"Tu amor es un periodico de Ayer" continues on the theme of the love that has is pass its time, a love that is as current as yesterday's newspapers. Love is the most popular theme that feed the inspiration of salsa interpreters. Interestingly, the language used in this piece bears witness of the intensity of feeling even after the time is passed. Intensity of feeling is also characteristic of the Puerto Rican Danza and the Bolero, two styles that share with salsa an intermingled web of Cuban and Puerto Rican history. This one also was made famous in the voice of Hector Lavoe. Sequenced

"Que bueno es"(how good it is). The brilliant thing about some music genres, and salsa is is one of them, is that it can make a theme of itself and make people enjoy it at the same time. Hector Lavoe, the interpreter of this song, knows this. Sequenced by Julio Vega
It has become common practice among famous musicians to take songs sung by other famous musicians and reinterpret them with a different musical style. Marc Anthony did just that with this piece. Originally a ballad recorded among other places in Mexico and now a salsa by a Puerto Rican singer from New York this piece demonstrates the versatility of the salsa genre and its ability to absorb good songs Sequenced by Julio Vega
