After a couple of years out of the music scene trying to get his life back in control, H\u00e9ctor Lavoe<\/a> made his anticipated comeback with the album “Comedia<\/em>“.<\/p>\n Following his first two albums as a soloist, \u201cLa Voz<\/em>\u201d (1975) and \u201cDe Ti Depende<\/em>\u201d (1976), \u201cComedia<\/em>\u201d (1978) was also well received by Salsa fans. “Comedia<\/em>” was carried mostly by two songs; the iconic \u201cEl Cantante\u201d<\/em>, and the flavorful \u201cSongoro Cosongo\u201d<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n “Comedia<\/em>” was produced by Willie Colon, just like the previous two albums. It was Willie that orchestrated Hector’s comeback, as he knew Salsa needed Hector as much as Hector needed Salsa to get over the hump in his private life.<\/p>\n Willie knew he needed a strong hit to bring Hector back. Not any song; it had to be a special song that stirred emotions in Salsa fans.<\/p>\n“El Cantante<\/em>” carries “Comedia<\/em>“<\/h3>\n
