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.  |
