VICTOR SANTOS is a Bronx native and is one of the most dynamic and sought after pianist, keyboardist, arranger, and band leaders performing Latin music today. He has had a long and successful career playing with some of Latin music's most influential artists, including: "The Queen" Celia Cruz, Conjunto Clasico, Tito Nieves, the legendary Hector Lavoe, Charanga America, Frankie Ruiz, Pete "El Conde" Rodríguez, band leader Johnny Pacheco, and brothers Jose Jr. and Luis Mangual. He will be performing at BRAC’s Bronx River Sounds Performing Arts Festival with Ocho Con Clave, a Bronx/East Harlem "old school salsa" band.
