“There is always something magical when the guitar of Victor Samalot plays, here on this brand new single entitled La Chica Bonita, we are gifted a luscious slice of summer in music. The mix of both electric and acoustic guitars offers us something redolent of the great Santana in style and composition, and indeed Samalot is so smooth! A mention must also be given to Bobbi Holt who features on Bass Guitar and also Efrain Hernandez on Drums. This vibrant new offering is just what is needed in the world right now, and I can see it being a huge success on both the charts and radio, and I wouldn’t mind betting around the pools and balconies of many a summer retreat too, full marks, Victor has done it again.”
