You may not know of Victor Samalot  but Victor is an extraordinary musician who has been carving out his musical career over many years in his home state of Ohio in the USA. His passion for Latin Groove Jazz Styled music has seen Victor develop a huge and very loyal fan base over the years. From his days with his former band Jazz Rock Fusion group Rare Blend and now through his solo productions, Victor Samalot’s approach to music is all about original music that crosses music boundaries and thrills!   

Victor switched from electric to acoustic guitar and this time called upon his Latin roots but kept his fusion sensibilities by incorporating the fundamentals of Jazz and Rock. He also added looping technology to his gear expanding writing and soloing ideas. Fresh and contemporary, Victor performs year round and continues to appeal to listeners of world fusion music. Some of Victor’s guitar influences are Carlos Santana, Jeff Beck, Ottmar Liebert, Craig Chaquico, Jesse Cook, Phil Keaggy, Jose Feliciano, David Gilmour, and more.

Primarily an electric guitar player embracing all genres of music, Victor wanted to put his own stamp on original instrumental music through acoustic guitar. Drawing on his Latin roots, Vic fuses Latin groove, Jazz stylings, and Rock edge that defines a sound all his own and is releasing a fresh set of originals on this New Album Esperanza.

This New Album Esperanza (released on – TSM Productions), is the brainchild of fusing Latin groove & Jazz stylings with a touch of Rock edge creating a signature sound in the genre of instrumental world fusion.

Collaborating through the Internet (a new recording venture for Samalot), complimented his vision of a full organic vibe.

What better way to keep things warm and joyful as winter steps into view than with nine original compositions from this guitarist extraordinaire Victor Samalot  – Without question – This album will delight all lovers of Guitar Music with a wonderful blend of so many complimentary music genres.  You’ll want to listen again and again. “Esperanza” The New Album by Victor Samalot is something very special!
