His respect for salsa is immense. He always makes his records with the accompaniment of a full orchestra with the best salsa musicians in the world. His arrangements reveal his powerful interpretations and give him space to improvise like the good sonero he is. His themes are about love and lack of love. Of romance, betrayal and seduction, issues that tend to be more linked to ballads. The genius of Victor Manuel is in always maintaining the balance between the romantic side and his sonero heart. 25/7 is a contemporary and classic album at the same time, in which the artist incorporates international arrangements without leaving aside his power of improvisation as a traditional Puerto Rican sonero. In his facet of composer, he mixes personal lyrics with sayings that make us sing.
