El Cantante Quiz Contest

The movie celebrates the life and music of the legendary Puerto Rican salsa singer Hector Lavoe, a pioneer of the sound and sensibility that redefined Latin music in the 1960's and 1970's.

Directed by Leon Ichaso, the film is a labor of love for its stars, Marc Anthony and Jennifer Lopez, who are both New Yorkers of Puerto Rican descent. Shepherded to the screen and produced by Lopez, El Cantante portrays an era when a new sense of national identiy and pride took root in Puerto rican communities across the U.S. Hector Lavoe's music was both a sountrack to and affirmation of that awakening, and that music courses joyfully through El Cantante.

El Cantante charts Lavoe's rapid rise to success and fame as an artist whose music combined Puerto Rican tradition with streetwise modernity, unabashed emotion with straightforward realism. It reveals the singer not only as an architect of salsa but as its soul; the kind of artist, like Billie Holliday, Edit Piaf or La Lupe, who forges an uncanny emotional bond with his audience. Anthony mines the contradictory essence of a gifted man who could express anything with his music, but channeled his inner turmoil into a host of self destructive behaviours.

This film is rated R. You must be at least 17 years of ages to attend this screening.
