He was a Puerto rican Singer, he sang Salsa. He was born in September 30 of 1993 and he died in June 29 of 1993.

Lavoe liked the music since he was 17 years old, when he move to New York; there he belonged to a salsa´s group (Kako All-stars), then in 1967 Lavoe was a principal in the Willie colon orchestra, but in that time he was addict to the drugs. So Lavoe was his own orchestra (Fania All Stars) because Willie fired him.

Lavoe was a singer so depressive and in 1979 he tried to recover but in this year his son died because his friend killed him so it was a reason for relapse again in the drugs, and in this same year his father and his mother in law died too. After these situations Lavoe made a concert but when he was singing the logistic people turned off the sound and the lights, therefore he came back to his hotel and the next day he tried to commit suicide himself in an eighth floor but he survived.

In the salsa´s history Hector Lavoe represents: the street sense, and the man who hides his characteristics and misfortunes in the society.

I sing to the life with laughter and sorrows of bad times and good times” Lavoe.

Hector Lavoe was an excellent singer for me and I love all his songs, because these songs has a letter so nice and realist, also many people listen these songs and although he died seventeen years ago his songs always will be cause celebration and emotion in the people.

He wasn’t an excellent person, because he had many problems and his life didn’t be easy, as a result he assumed these problems with drugs and sex, it means with the easy life, but the people always is going to love and remember him for his excellent music.

Everything has its end” Hector Lavoe.
