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.

~Con Poder (August 12, 2003)
~Worship Live (September 23, 2003)

Another day to celebrate
Your beauty and your mystery
Is more than any, I can see
I’m not the man I was before
With You, my life is so much more
Break the chains and open doors, to a world I can't ignore
Lord, let me shine, shine like the moon
A reflection of You in all that I do
Lord, let me be, a light for Your truth
Light of the world, I wanna be used to shine for You
As simple as a passing smile
Or listening a little while
To someone that's convinced that they are in this all alone
But, here's my chance to share the news
To introduce the good that's You
Here You go again, You never cease to blow my mind
Lord, let me shine, shine like the moon
A reflection of You in all that I do
Lord, let me be, a light for Your truth
Light of the world, I wanna be used to shine for You
You're the love that we all need
You lift us up to our feet
You hold the key to eternity
The King of Kings, alive in me
Lord, let me shine, shine like the moon
A reflection of You in all that I do
Lord, let me be, a light for Your truth
Light of the world, I wanna be used to shine for You
Lord, let me shine, shine like the moon
A reflection of You in all that I do
Lord, let me be a light for Your truth
Light of the world, I wanna be used to shine for You
Shine for You
To shine for You
To shine for You
