Victor's new album Esperanza (released 10/12/17 – 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.
