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.

Cuero
Vox Dei Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
alli, en tu cuerpo entre las carnes
no te preocupes no es tan importante,
tan solo estas recordndome.
Siente tus pies yo te los beso,
tambien tu espalda, te muerdo el cuello,
te quemo el alma con este fuego
The lyrics in Vox Dei's song Cuero express a very raw and intense desire for someone. The first line translates to "There is something burning on your skin," and sets the tone for the rest of the verse. The next line, "There, in your body among the flesh," suggests a very physical and intimate relationship between the singer and the subject of the song. The third line, "Don't worry, it is not so important," can be interpreted as the singer attempting to assuage any concerns the subject may have about their connection. The final line of the verse, "You are just reminding me," highlights the fact that the singer is consumed by their desire for the other person, and cannot escape their thoughts.
The second verse contains even more vivid imagery. The line "I feel your feet, and I kiss them," is a very intimate gesture, suggesting a deep connection between the two people. The next line, "I bite your neck, I burn your soul," is a bit more aggressive, but still highlights the strong emotional and physical bond between the singer and subject. Finally, the line "I burn you with this fire that is in my hands, that are made of leather," adds a layer of danger and dominance to the song, as the singer seems to wield a powerful and potentially harmful force.
Overall, Cuero is a song that is steeped in desire and passion, but also contains an undercurrent of danger and control. It highlights the intense emotions that can arise between two people who are deeply connected, and the overpowering, all-consuming nature of those feelings.

Las/os muchachas/os de 60 y pico. O los que estamos pisando la sexta década seguro recordamos estos temas con inmenso cariño. Fueron la voz de una generación que no queria callar y que aún bajo la noche negra de la historia argentina le puso luz a la juventud. Junto con Almendra, Sui Generis. Billy Bond y tantos otros son la Edad de oro del rock nacional! Viva Vox Dei! Viva el rock nacional!
