“Burp Whisperer” Marc Anthony - El Cantante [Soundtrack] March 14, 2008

Posted by in : Buy Albums / Songs , add a comment

Jennifer Lopez’s husband has been dubbed the “Burp Whisperer” - because he is so skilled at getting the couple’s baby twins to sleep.

Marc Anthony said wife J-Lo and her family gave him the nickname after the pair welcomed the newborns last month.

He said: “I’m so hands-on with them that the household developed a nickname for me.

“They call me the Burp Whisperer.”

Chart star Lopez, 38, gave birth to twins Emme and Max in New York on February 22. She has been married to Latin music sensation Marc Anthony, 39, for more than three years.

The music in Marc Anthony’s El Cantante sounds better than the original probably because of better acoustics in recording studios nowadays. Regardless, it sounds great.

The more I hear this El Cantante CD, the more I like it. As you know, usually the original singer has the advantage. In this case it was Hector, so there could be no comparison.

However, my greatest disappoinment was to hear Marc trying to sound like Hector and limiting his own awesome singing style which is very different but one of the best. What I wanted to hear was Marc’s interpretation and soneo of these songs.

I would like to hear Marc record other of Hector’s songs with his own voice and his own style. Of course it would not be the same. But think of Hector trying to sing Ahora a Quien, Celos, Te Conozco Bien, or Hasta que te conoci. He would not match Marc’s voice or soneos. Marc has also revived the music of Rafael Hernandez for younger generations.

Hector, Ismael,Ismael M., Ruben, Marvin, Cheo, Gilberto, and Marc are the salsa greats. For you salsa hardcores (like me) accept this reality and you would accept that this El Cantante is a great CD.
