Hector Lavoe - El Sabio (1960/2024) [Official Digital Download 24/192]

Nineteen eighty was a high-intensity news year. In December, John Lennon was shot. The month before, President Jimmy Carter, who had announced the United States’ boycott of the Olympics in Moscow and who was struggling with the Iranian hostage situation, lost the election to former actor Ronald Reagan. Earlier in the year, Mayor Edward I. Koch crossed the Brooklyn Bridge with thousands of New Yorkers during the 11-day transit strike. Archbishop Oscar Romero was killed by gunmen while celebrating mass in San Salvador, and in Puerto Rico Luis Muñoz Marín, the island’s first elected governor, died.

Back in New York, Comedian Richard Pryor was badly burned while freebasing cocaine and Fania Records releases Héctor Lavoe’s “El Sabio”, his sixth solo recording. By then, Lavoe was already known as “El Cantante,” having made the Ruben Blades tune a top-selling, come-back hit for himself. His band was busy working and traveling, yet Lavoe still was not happy. His emotional instability and drug addictions fueled unpredictable behavior that had fans flocking to his concerts just to see if he would make an appearance.
