Travelworm.com Offers El Cantante Experience for Hector Lavoe Fans
NEW YORK, NY, August 23, 2007. In honor of the recent release of Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony's film "El Cantante," Travelworm.com is offering travelers a unique experience to honor the late salsero, Hector Lavoe. To celebrate the life of the talented, but troubled legend, Travelworm.com has created a travel package that teaches fans, both old and new, about Lavoe's life.
The journey will begin with a first class ticket to the Big Apple, where guests will take a tour of Lavoe's Bronx neighborhood and visit the famed Fania Records, the label which put him on the map. While in NY, guests will also have a chance to attend a salsa concert with famed promoter, Ralph Mercado - the promoter who organized Lavoe's famous last concert in Puerto Rico. Guests will also be treated to authentic Puerto Rican cuisine at the Manhattan restaurant Sofrito.
After two exciting days in New York, travelers will be whisked off first class to Puerto Rico, the beautiful island and birthplace of Lavoe. While in "la isla bonita," the lucky music fans will stay at the Regency Hotel Condado, the same hotel Lavoe and his wife Puchi stayed while performing for the last time in Puerto Rico. The salsa will not stop during the visit with guests getting VIP treatment at some of the most frequented and esteemed salsa clubs in Puerto Rico. On a private tour during the day, guests will walk through the streets of Ponce, the city where the music star was born and raised and visit the gravesites of him and his family.
For real Lavoe fans, the package would not be complete without a visit to a babalao - a supreme priest of the religion Santeria. The travelers will receive counsel and advice from one of Puerto Rico's most famous and respected babalaos while on their Puerto Rican style journey. As a parting gift, the babalao will bless a white bead necklace which is said to "open doors of opportunity and remove all obstacles." The adventure ends with a first class flight back to the traveler's destination choice.
For Lavoe fans on a tighter budget, Travelworm.com is offering a Lavoe Package that includes a stay at the Regency Hotel Condado, round trip first class tickets to Puerto Rico and a CD of Lavoe's greatest hits. Cost per person is $400, excluding taxes and additional fees. Price is also dependent on travel dates.
