Dave Bloom, Attorney At Law "As CEO of EsNtion Records Michael Hernandez sent us several records from a vibrant and creative Salsa Dura scene in the Chicago area. If not for Michael it is doubtful that these groups would have received the east coast FM airplay that they did. Michael is sharing the midwest's cultural treasures with the rest of the country."
