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.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There ain't no other way
Live, love and be about it
Light of the world to say
Don't you worry
What you're gonna be
I can see you, I can see you
You are the salt of all the earth
You are His feet, His eyes, His hands
You are the light of all the world
High on the hill, so let us stand
Shining bright, salt and light
There is no doubt about it
There ain't no other way
Live, love and be about it
Light of the world to say
Don't you worry
What you're gonna be
I can see you, I can see you
I can see you
You are the salt of all the earth
You are His feet, His eyes, His hands
You are the light of all the world
High on the hill, so let us stand
Shining bright, salt and light
Don't you worry

I can see you, I can see you

The lyrics of "Salt & Light" by Salvador are an uplifting reminder of the importance of living a life that embodies the teachings of Jesus Christ. The opening lines set the tone for the rest of the song, declaring that there is no doubt that this is the path to follow. The lyrics encourage the listener to live, love and be about it - that is to say, to embrace the principles of Christianity in their entirety. The phrase "Light of the world to say" refers to Jesus, who declared himself as "the light of the world" in the gospel of John. The song goes on to say that we shouldn't worry about what we're going to be, because we have already been given a purpose in life. The repetition of "I can see you" emphasizes that there is a divine plan for each person's life, and that it is their responsibility to follow it.
The chorus of the song is particularly powerful, describing the listener as "the salt of all the earth" and the "light of all the world". These phrases are taken directly from the Bible, with Jesus telling his disciples in the Sermon on the Mount, "You are the salt of the earth" and "You are the light of the world". The song emphasizes that these roles are not optional - they are inherent in a Christian's identity. The reference to being "High on the hill" is likely a reference to the parable of the lamp on a stand, where Jesus tells his disciples that they should not hide their light, but put it on a stand for all to see.
Overall, "Salt & Light" is a catchy, upbeat Christian song that encourages the listener to live a life that reflects the teachings of Jesus Christ. It reminds us that we have a purpose in life and that it is our responsibility to shine our light brightly for all to see.
