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.

Black Flower
Salvador Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To the children who've fallen from grace'
All this life will fade away
So let the black flower grow where it may
For in Sharon grows a rose who knows
How to flourish the flower in the rain
As blessings fall and as blossoms fade
The sun is gonna shine tomorrow
The good and the bad both feel the rain
Faith, hope and love outlive our sorrow
So let the black flower grow where it may
In the garden of our lives
One million flowers bloom joy that God paints
The lily of the valley reigns
So let the black flower grow where it may
The sun is gonna shine tomorrow
The good and the bad both feel the rain
Faith, hope and love outlive our sorrow
So let the black flower grow where it may
In Zion, the black flower never blooms
Its darkly faint perfume has finally been consumed
In Zion, go upon the mountain high
And see the risen Christ, the rose that will not die
The sun is gonna shine tomorrow
The good and the bad both feel the rain
Faith, hope and love outlive our sorrow
So let the black flower grow where it may
The sun is gonna shine tomorrow
The good and the bad both feel the rain
Faith, hope and love outlive our sorrow
So let the black flower grow where it may
The lyrics to Salvador's song, Black Flower, speak to the transience of life and the resilience of hope in the face of it. The opening lines pose a question of whether or not to cry for the children who have fallen from grace. The chorus answers this with a call to let the black flower grow where it may, recognizing the impermanence of life, but also the beauty that can be found in even the darkest circumstances. The second verse calls attention to the role of faith in flourishing despite the unpredictable nature of life. The bridge provides a contrast between the black flower, which represents the struggles of life, and the lily of the valley, which symbolizes the hope and joy that can be found amidst it all. The final verse includes a reference to Zion, a biblical term for a place of refuge, where even the black flower has no place, but where the risen Christ provides eternal hope.
