Statue of Héctor Lavoe, Bronze statue at La Guancha recreational complex in Ponce, Puerto Rico
The six-foot-tall bronze figure presents Héctor Lavoe holding a microphone in his right hand and maracas in his left hand at the seafront location.
The monument, inaugurated in 2014, resulted from a community initiative that began in 2002 when Lavoe's remains were relocated to Ponce.
Puerto Rican artist Severo Romero created this tribute to honor Héctor Lavoe, known as 'El Cantante de los Cantantes' during the salsa music golden age.
The statue construction required public donations totaling sixty thousand dollars and stands at coordinates 17.96532 latitude and -66.6145 longitude.
The bronze sculpture features precise details of the salsa singer's characteristic performance stance, marking the location where his remains now rest.
