Hector Lavoe

Juanito Alimaña

Juanito Alimaña is a story of many other that happened in Latin America.  The difficult of living and to gain life that make anyone mad.  Juanito Alimaña is a thief which has been stolen all his live. He is recognized by his neighbors in the streets but no one dares to call the police, they all fear him. He has been in jail but he always gets free because his cousin is a police officer.

The song is from Hector Lavoe who was born in Puerto Rico and lived most of his life in New York, where he died. He used to sing about cruelty of live and about true stories with anonymous characters, always decorated with the besto bongos and trumpets of Salsa music.
