Victor Samalot’s solo guitar project began in 2010 after the permanent hiatus of his Jazz Rock Fusion group RARE BLEND (1995-2010) with 5 CD releases, gained rave reviews regionally and worldwide from major publications such as All About Jazz, Jazz Review, 20th Century Guitar magazine, Progression Magazine, and more.... . Reinventing his sound and brand, 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. On October 12th, 2017, Victor released his 2nd solo CD called "Esperanza".
