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.

Salvador Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Es una de las valientes
Desde la costa a la sierra
No le temen ala muerte
y muertos
Se miraban diariamente
La sierra estaba adornada
Con la mota y amapola
Prometio que eso acababa
Llevando ritmo al poder
Su promesa realizaba
Trajieron a un comandante
De la ciudad de Ensenada
Con fama internacional
A el valor le sobraba
El comandante Montano
De ninguno se confiaba
Lo invitaron a la sierra
Le tienden una emboscada
Pero al rujir sus metrallas
Solo,los muertos quedaban
Reconocian a Montano
Que facil no se mataba
En la carcel de Tepic
No caben los matones
Unos uyen del estado
Otros estan en panteones
De los desaparecidos
Montano no da razones
Estado de Nayarit
Todo esta ya controlado
Gracias a mi gobierno
Vive su pueblo confiado
Raul Montano Dominguez
Es hombre muy respetado
Las ordenes de arriba
Siempre las ejecutaron
y Fonseca
Siempre lo han acompanado
A limpiar deliquentes
A Nayarir que es mi estado
The song Montano by Salvador tells the story of the Mexican state of Nayarit and the struggle it faced with drugs and violence. The lyrics describe how the people of Nayarit were brave and fearless, not afraid of death, and how they lived in a daily reality of death where dead bodies were seen all the time. The song talks about how the government promised to end the drug and violence problem in Nayarit, and they brought in a commander named Montano from Ensenada. Montano was a respected man who was known for his valor and brave actions; he was brought in to bring peace to Nayarit.
However, Montano was not trusted and was eventually lured into an ambush in the Sierra. The ambush failed, and the only ones left dead were the attackers, who recognized the valor of Montano. After the ambush, Montano was put in jail in Tepic, where no murderers fit, and the situation in Nayarit was under control. The song ends by stating that Raul Montano Dominguez is a respected man who has always followed the orders of his superior, and he, along with Fonseca, has protected the people of Nayarit and cleared the state of criminals.
Overall, Montano is a song that tells the story of the fight against drug violence in Nayarit and how the government brought in a commander to bring peace to the state. The song praises Montano and the government for bringing stability to the state and clearing it of criminals.
