Written by Leon Ichaso, David Darmstaeder and Todd Anthony Bello, El Cantante is the dramatic-biography of Puerto Rican salsa pioneer Hector Lavoe (one of the biggest Spanish-language singers in the 1970s). The film follows Lavoe’s (Anthony) passionate relationship with Puchi (Lopez) and his skyrocket to international fame. But even when he has it all, Lavoe is unable to escape the allure of drugs and his personal pain. Personal tragedy and a heroin addiction left him penniless and dying from complications from AIDS. Known as salsa's bad boy, he had a crystal-clear voice and an incomparable talent for improvisation.
