1)Salvador is a Christian band that blends their Latin heritage and contemporary pop songwriting. The band formed in 1999 in Austin, Texas.
Over the past 10 years in which Salvador has toured throughout the country and at times outside of it, a fan base began to rapidly grow. According to the members of the group, no matter how huge the fan base gets, they are still surprised and grateful to be a part of that environment, and even more surprising to them is that their fans keep coming and supporting.
Not only has growth been among the fans, but also within the group as well. Adding to the existing members of Nic Gonzales (lead vocals and guitar), his cousin Josh Gonzales (bass and background vocals), Chris Bevins (co-producer and keyboards), and Jared Solis (trombone and saxophone), the band completes its family with brass man Edwin Santiago (trumpet and flugelhorn), Ben Cordonero (drummer) and Robert Vilera (percussionist) . Nic Gonzales calls the three men Salvador’s “valuable acquisitions.” Cordonero, a Nicaraguan from Miami, not only plays the drums but also traditional Latin percussion such as congas, timbales and bongos. Santiago is a Boricua – of Puerto Rican decent -who brings not only amazing talent but an unending work ethic as well. And Vilera, an established session player who’s worked with Marc Anthony, Gloria Estefan and Celia Cruz (to name a few) also brings more of the sonido Latina to the music and, ultimately, their fan base.
What is it that sets this record apart from other Christian albums and even Salvador’s previous ones? Three words: horns and percussion. According to the producers of album 'Dismiss the Mystery', there is a greater reliance on horns and percussion to take an already existing tapestry of excellent vocals, rhythm and strings, to a higher level of excellence creating nuances and gravitas that exudes a timeless capability.
Regarding the future of Salvador’s ability to keep creating in the face of growth, change and an unstable marketplace, one thing is for certain: after seven years of hard work culminating with Dismiss the Mystery, it is impossible to dismiss their undeniable musicianship, and the only mystery left at this point is what can they possibly do next to top it.

Aware
Salvador Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the things I thought didn't matter much at all
As simple as my daily prayer
To the strength I need to get out of bed
When I fly or when I am bound to fall
Oh it is you in me that I fail to see
Make me aware, make me see
That everything I am is not all about me
So that the obvious can finally be found
Make me aware, make me aware
When my life is hanging from a tread
And I think about the things you said
And these moments seems so far away
Help me see the guarantees
That first brought me to believe
So I can make through another day
Oh it is you in me that helps me breathe
Make me aware, make me see
That everything I am is not all about me
So Take my world and turn it around
So that the obvious can finally be found
Make me aware I have been missing so much
Not recognizing your touch
Acknowledging that you're the reason
I am even here
I have been missing so much not recognizing your touch
Make me aware, make me aware
Help me see that everything I am is not all about me
Take my world turn it around so that the obvious can finally be found
Make me aware, make me aware
The lyrics of Salvador’s song "Aware" convey a sense of humility as the artist reflects on how life can often seem overwhelming when viewed only through the lens of one’s own needs and desires. He recognizes that many of the things we take for granted or ignore are actually signs of a greater power at work in the world, and he implores that power to "make me aware, make me see" so that he can find a deeper meaning in his life.
The song speaks directly about the importance of faith in moments of struggle, when life seems uncertain and we need to draw on something greater than ourselves to find the courage to move forward. Salvador acknowledges that he has been missing so much by not recognizing the hand of this greater power in his life, and he asks to be made aware of its presence so that he can learn to see himself as part of something larger than himself.
Overall, "Aware" is a song about the power of humility and faith to help us navigate the challenges of life, and to find meaning in even the smallest of moments. It is a call to be conscious of the world around us, and to find the strength to face our challenges with courage and grace.
Line by Line Meaning
Even in the little things that never seem to big to me
In the small, mundane moments that I tend to overlook
In the things I thought didn't matter much at all
Even in aspects of my life that I perceived as insignificant
As simple as my daily prayer
From the routine act of praying each day
To the strength I need to get out of bed
To the motivation I require to start my day
When I fly or when I am bound to fall
During my highs and lows alike
Oh it is you in me that I fail to see
I overlook the presence and impact of a higher power within me
Make me aware, make me see
Help me realize and acknowledge the truth
That everything I am is not all about me
That my existence and experiences are not solely for my benefit
So Take my world and turn it around
Guide me towards a new perspective
So that the obvious can finally be found
So that I can recognize and understand the truth
When my life is hanging from a tread
During times of great uncertainty and fragility
And I think about the things you said
As I reflect on the teachings of a higher power
And these moments seems so far away
As I feel disconnected from this guidance
Help me see the guarantees
Allow me to recognize the promises and assurances provided
That first brought me to believe
That initially instilled faith and trust within me
So I can make through another day
So I can persevere through my difficulties and challenges
Oh it is you in me that helps me breathe
The essence of a higher power sustains and supports me
Make me aware I have been missing so much
Help me realize the aspects of my life I have overlooked
Not recognizing your touch
Failing to perceive the influence of a higher power in my life
Acknowledging that you're the reason
Recognizing that a higher power is responsible for my existence
I am even here
That my life is a product of divine intervention
Make me aware, make me aware
Help me attain a new level of awareness and understanding
Help me see that everything I am is not all about me
Assist me in recognizing that my life is interconnected with a higher power
Take my world turn it around so that the obvious can finally be found
Guide me towards a new outlook that reveals the truth
Make me aware, make me aware
Help me attain a new level of awareness and understanding
