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.

Here I Am to Worship
Salvador Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Opened my eyes, let me see
Beauty that made this heart adore you
Hope of a life spent with You
So, here I am to worship
Here I am to bow down
Here I am to say that You're my God
Altogether worthy
Altogether wonderful to me
King of all days, oh so highly exalted
Glorious in heaven above
Humbly You came to the Earth
You created all for love's sake become poor
And I'll never know how much it cost
To see my sin upon that cross
The lyrics of Salvador's song 'Here I Am to Worship' are an expression of the singer's willingness to praise and worship God. The song describes the qualities of God that inspire reverence and awe. The opening lines, "Light of the world, You stepped down into darkness, opened my eyes, let me see," refer to God as the source of light and the one who brings clarity and understanding in a world that can be dark and confusing. The lyricist acknowledges that the beauty of God's love and the hope of a life spent with Him are reasons to adore Him.
The chorus of the song reflects the singer's attitude of submission and devotion to God. "Here I am to worship, here I am to bow down, here I am to say that You're my God," expresses the readiness to give God the highest honor and to acknowledge Him as the object of worship. The lyrics also affirm that God is "altogether lovely, altogether worthy, altogether wonderful" to the singer.
The second verse of the song describes God's ultimate sacrifice. The lyricist refers to Jesus Christ as the "King of all days," who left heaven to come to earth and became poor to show His love for humanity. The final lines, "And I'll never know how much it cost to see my sin upon that cross," are a reminder that salvation comes at a great price and that the love of God is beyond measure.
