El Cantante WORKPRINT XviD-CAMERA

You don’t get the chance to download WORKPRiNTS everyday. The last one available was for the film ‘Hostel: Part II‘ about 2 months ago and to be getting another now is actually quite quick. We here at rlslog don’t even have a category for WORKPRiNTS that’s how rare they are. CAMERA is the group that gives us this latest WORKPRiNT and is of the movie EL Cantante. Starring Marc Anthony and Jennifer Lopez the plot tells the life story of Hector Lavoe who started the salsa movement in 1975 and brought it to the United States. The quality of this WORKPRiNT is pretty good but as is the norm with this type of release there is a pretty large copyright notice at the bottom with a rather annoying timer which is a bit of a bummer, however I’m almost certain that there are no black and white scenes. This also has been ‘officially’ nuked with the following as the reasons: [ El.Cantante.WORKPRINT.XviD-CAMERA ] - [ bad.ar_no.eng.subtitles.for.spanish.parts ]. The ar at least for me seems fine and as for there being no English subtitles, its a WORKPRiNT the production crew probably haven’t even added them in themselves anyway. So overall this is some nice work by group CAMERA with the advantages of this pre such as the image and sound quality being very good for such an early release outweighing the disadvantages such as the copyright notice and English subs not being available for the portions of Spanish audio. If this looks like it will interest you then download and watch this a couple of days before it hits the cinemas!

PLOT: EL CANTANTE legendary Puerto Rican salsa singer Hector Lavoe, a pioneer of the sound and sensibility that redefined Latin music in the 1960s and 1970s. 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 identity and pride took root in Puerto Rican communities across the U.S. Hector Lavoe’s music was both a soundtrack to and affirmation of that awakening, and that music courses joyfully through EL CANTANTE. Spanning the 1960s to the 1980s, EL CANTANTE charts Hector Lavoe’s rapid rise to success and fame as an artist whose music combined Puerto Rican tradition with streetwise modernity and 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, Edith Piaf or La Lupe, who forges an uncanny emotional bond with his audience. Love, pain, joy, pride, sorrow, endurance: Lavoe’s singing contained the raw stuff of life as ordinary people — and he himself — knew it. As Lavoe, 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 behaviors. Anthony’s intensity and honesty is matched by that of Lopez, who portrays Lavoe’s wife, Puchi. In their first onscreen pairing, the real-life couple capture the complex dynamics of a relationship between two bright, funny and flawed human beings who loved, battled and forgave one another for twenty years, until Lavoe’s death in 1993.

    The movie is called “El Cantante” not “Puchi & Friends”. Jennifer Lopez is a supporting actress in this one.

    If only for the great music of Hector Lavoe (sung here by Marc Anthony) you should see it.

    ok well i wasnt to into this movie when they were showing the trailers but i downloaded it and watched it with my girl and the movie was incredible. i mean jlo was actually good in this movie as marc anthony he was also good. Im latino and it was a good latino movie. And for the people that nuked this there was english subtitles for the spanish parts some were just blocked by the timer at the bottem but most of them were on there just pay attention overall movie 9/10 sound 6/10 had to turn up the volume a bit

    Not fond of J-Lo, she ain’t been “real” since her In Living Colour days and the good part she played as Selena, besides that she acts like she is white and not hispanic.

    tired, when you’re MOD., then reprimand, for now tho, STFU.
    video is of very watchable quality, audio a little on the low end.
    The workprint and timer on the release may bother some, but should be able to enjoy the film despite that.
    There!! On topic and everything!~!

    America loves to pride itself on being a nation of immigrates, but lets face it, the average American no matter how young or old can’t tell the difference between a Puerto Rican and a Mexican and there’s a huge difference, it’s all about CULTURE and in my opinion quality vs.quantity. What’s sad about what I’m reading here is these kids have no clue about what a true genius Hector Lavoe was and this movie proves his music lives ands always will.

    I agree with YYZ if you don’t like this movie don’t post about it especially if you know nothing of the person that being Hector Lavoe and the great music he made. If your going to insult us Puerto Ricans than at least get it right- just shows how ignorant you are (Bush). Interestingly enough another movie entitled “The Singer” is being made about Hector funny how this one is called El Cantante. I do agree though that J Lo is not the best actress but I will give it a try since I’m a fan of Hector’s music. Viva Lavoe y mi gente =p

    WORKPRINT (WP)
    A workprint is a copy of the film that has not been finished. It can be missing scenes, music, and quality can range from excellent to very poor. Some WPs are very different from the final print (Men In Black is missing all the aliens, and has actors in their places) and others can contain extra scenes (Jay and Silent Bob) . WPs can be nice additions to the collection once a good quality final has been obtained.

    I hope this helps essequemodeia!

    ….Mucha Jente Que Comentan!!!….
    ive been visiting this site for a while now, i love it here,
    i have it as my home page.
    i enjoy coming here for movie’s but also to read the comments,
    i think its funny ass hell how ignorant some people can get,
    especialy when its a free movie.
    but today i read this F*ckt Up racist comment made by a F*ckt Up racist a$$jollo, and now im hoping that its just you and not a whole lotta bad apples here.
    dont f*ck this place up with your racist sh!t some of us actualy like it here, dont make this one more place that i have to deal with racism.
    on another note im lookin forward to seeing this movie and hoping that j-lo and marc didnt do a bad job of the life of Lavoe…
    i was a little disappointed to find out that Hector died in 93, some dumb ass friend of mine told me a long time ago that he died in 87, i could have seen him live.
    he is one of my favorite, along with Raphy Leavitt but at least i got to see Raphy live!

    I totaly agree ZV selena is on tv right now and if you put how she looked in that movie up against how she looks now its like night and day…so sad she used to be a beautiful thick latina now i dont know what to call her…hollywood really changes people…smh

    August 4th, 2007 | 21:59

    IMO… this movie sucked ass!!!
    they concentrated to much on Lavoe’s drug addiction than his music,
    it just showed him as down n out and a big time drug addict,
    it didnt show anything about his music or how it got to that point,
    or show how he came to sing with some of the great salsa figures of that era,
    what a piece of crap movie, im totaly disappointed,
    it just touched on what everybody who loved Lavoe already knew, that he was this depressed drug addict that had a great voice and made good music with other great people.
    i so wanted to know more…

    I will look at this movie for the simple fact that someone took th time to get this free on this site. Out of respect for their work. Another group downloaded “Outlaw” That was a waste of human time, but I didn’t see this much hate and discontent. I agree with Kon Art, If you like or dislike a movie make your peace, but take the hating somewhere else. I too enjoy this site for its quality product and people till the comments on this post. “Stop Hating”
