Dope songs fellas, but if you really wanna know what's up about Hector:

El Cantante is a beautiful song, but i love El Periodico de Ayer; just as beautiful but shorter:

Of course there is "Mi Gente", but I find the live version he did at the Ali-Foreman fight-music festival in Zaire to be a very moving, transcendent performance:

But my all time favorite recording is on Willie Colon's "Timbalero" off of the El Juicio Lp. This is an 8 minute recording that has everything, from bongo/conga madness, and an acapella/horn section breakdown. Here is the studio recording: http://youtu.be/XGHVQeVs4RI

And here it is performing it live on the NYC public tv show "Soul" in '72 (The latin episode featuring Willie and Tito Puente ad Felipe Luciano is just pure gold): http://youtu.be/Cb7xtfVSQyo

FYI, the "Soul" episode can be found here:
