| EL CANTANTE, arriving on DVD from
New Line Home Entertainment on October 30, 2007. It was the 1970s and a new sound was echoing through New York City like a revolution. It was hot, it was sexy…it was salsa. From a smoky club in the barrio to Madison Square Garden, one man would rise above the rest to become an icon still beloved by fans today. With his dynamic and devoted wife, Puchi (Lopez), by his side, Lavoe (Anthony) blazed a path through life that left a legacy of extraordinary music and personal destruction. The turbulent journey of the man who ignited the high-tempo sound of salsa is at the center of EL CANTANTE. Marking their first onscreen pairing, Jennifer Lopez (Monster-in-Law, Shall We Dance) and Marc Anthony (Man on Fire, Bringing Out the Dead) star in this labor of love as the king and queen of the 1960s and 1970s salsa movement. Inspired by a true story, the film chronicles Hector Lavoe’s rise to stardom, his complex relationship with his family and the admiration of an audience deeply connected to the emotional and tumultuous lyrics of his life. DVD SPECIAL FEATURES* • Never-before-seen, behind-the-scenes footage with a revealing making-of documentary and a director and writer audio commentary.
