1. Vox Dei (Latin: God's Voice) is an Argentine rock band. Its most prolific years were the 1970s, having recorded 10 albums.
The band's original members were Juan Carlos "Yody" Godoy (guitar and vocals), Ricardo Soulé (guitar and vocals), Rubén Basoalto (drums) and Willy Quiroga (bass and vocals).
In 1968 they recorded a version of Percy Sledge's "When a Man Loves a Woman", and the company Mandioca organized an audition for them in the Payró theatre. The members of Manal and Almendra were also present, and a few hours later they played together. In 1970 they recorded for Mandioca their first album Caliente.
In the B.A. Rock Festival Vox Dei played the first part of the theme "Genesis", which had no lyrics yet. In February 1971 they released La Biblia ('The Bible'). Being the first Argentine concept album, it became a turning point in the history of Argentine rock; even the Archdiocese, that had asked to examine the lyrics, recommended young people to buy it. Right after the recording of La Biblia, Jorge Godoy left the band and was replaced by Ignacio Smilari.
In 1972 they re-edited their first album and recorded the third one, Jeremías Pies de Plomo. During the first shows after the release, they recorded La Nave Infernal and a few months later Es una Nube, No Hay Duda. After Vox Dei para Vox Dei of 1974, Ricardo Soulé announced he would leave the band to start as a soloist. Carlos Michelini replaced him while recording Estamos en la Pecera in 1975, and then was himself replaced by Raúl Fernandez. In 1976 they recorded Ciegos de Siglos.
Soulé returned to the band in 1978 to record Gata de Noche. Slowly the differences between the musicians started to grow, but they respected the contract that kept them together until 1981. In 1986 Vox Dei regrouped to present and record live "La Biblia" in the Teatro Ópera. In 1988 they made a "come back", to produce Tengo Razones para Seguir with Luis Valenti. Towards the end of 1989, Ricardo Soulé the band left again. In 1992 Carlos Gardellini becomes his new guitar. With guitar Gardellini have recorded the albums: Sin Darle Ya Más Vueltas in 1994, and El Camino in 2005. They have recorded with Ricardo Soulé a remake of La Biblia in 1997 entitled La Biblia II. On November 3, 2010, drummer Rubén Basoalto dies of lung cancer. After that, the band has a not well defined future.
2. Vox Dei is a Christian Progressive Heavy Metal band from Guatemala. Vox Dei was formed in 1989 in Guatemala City, the name means God's Voice. It is usually confused with the secular band from Argenitna Vox Dei. For many, Vox Dei are the fathers of the Guatemalan White Metal.

Azucar Amargo
Vox Dei Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
sos mi obsesion
nena, mi linda nena
que cosa extraa tu amor
es muy dulce y amargo a veces
que puedo hacer.
Estas dentro de mi
nena , dubidu dubidi papap...
ni lo que digo se
eres ardiente
y fria a veces
que hare.
Piba me vuelvo loco
tu amor es una droga
nena, no importa que eres
solo a tu lado quiero estar
si traes felicidad
o tristeza no importa
Azucar amargo...azucar amargo...
The lyrics to Vox Dei's song Azucar Amargo describe the singer's intense obsession with a woman. He thinks of her all day long, and her love is a strange mixture of sweetness and bitterness. He is aware that she has a strong hold over him, like a potent wine that fills him with ardor and passion one moment, and leaves him cold and distant the next. Despite her mercurial nature, he is hopelessly addicted to her love, unable to resist her even though he knows it brings both happiness and sadness.
The song captures the intensity and unpredictability of a passionate love affair, one that sweeps the singer off his feet and leaves him at the mercy of his lover's moods. The use of the image of "azucar amargo" (bitter sugar) is particularly effective in conveying the conflicting emotions at play in the relationship - the sweetness of love mixed with the bitterness of heartache and pain.
Overall, Vox Dei's Azucar Amargo is a powerful ode to the emotional rollercoaster of love, one that captures the paradoxical nature of human emotions and the complexity of human relationships.
