About the artist:
A descendent from Spanish and Guarani Indians, Victor Espinola was born into a family of musical talents from Paraguay. He discovered his love for music by the age of seven after his father gave him a guitar. At the age of 10, Victor began to learn the skill of playing the World famous Harp. He honed his skills on the harp as well as vocals, and eventually was asked to perform in many Latin American countries such as Brazil, Argentina, Chile, and Ecuador. By the age of seventeen he had the opportunity to tour for two years in Europe, playing in Switzerland, Italy, Austria and Germany. This won him recognition as one of the best harpists in the world.

Victor now composes, produces and performs his original music. With his unique blend of Flamenco, Gypsy, Brazilian, Middle Eastern, Afro, American Pop and Dance music, he is in demand everywhere he plays. "I never seen anybody play the harp like that…he is Virtuoso" is a quote from Yanni the first time he saw Victor playing. Yanni invited Victor to be part of his 2003/2010 World Tour. Victor's agenda is without boundaries, and his only quest is to continue sharing and spreading his music to many cultures around the world.
