Ranked No. 4 in Salsa
Written by Blades for Lavoe: the singer everyone comes to hear, whom nobody asks how he is. Given what happened to Lavoe afterwards, it is hard to hear now.

El Cantante
1978 · Fania
Picked by Dancing to Bad News
Rubén Blades wrote it for Lavoe: the singer everybody comes to hear and nobody asks how he is. Full Fania horns, a floor-filler at every party since, and a man describing his own disappearance in the middle of it.
