Synopsis

Amazon.com

Salvador's Myrrh Records debut is a powerhouse production of Latin-influenced praise and worship. Producer Monroe Jones (Chris Rice, Third Day, Ginny Owens) has again demonstrated his Midas touch. The album begins with an explosion of Latin-funk in "Lord, I Come Before You," and then flows into a sizzling salsa groove with "David Danced." Between choruses there is an abundance of instrumental jamming for those who know how to use their feet. The horn section, flamenco guitar, and layered percussion glamorize this music with no holds barred. Never before has worship been this fun! But Salvador demonstrates tenderness as well. Lead singer Nick Gonzales makes this project complete with messages of salvation and healing. The five members of Salvador have much in common. Between them, there are two brothers, one cousin, two pastor's kids, and two worship leaders. These family and ministry ties have made an unmistakable mark on their music. They deliver pure spiritual material that cannot be ignored. --Israel Button

CD Reviews

Salvador

(4 out of 5 stars)

"From the opening track's salvo of an extreme groove rhythm section driving a screaming horn section into funk city to the plaintive declaration of saving grace in "Crucified" this disc is a bright spot on the contemporary Christian music charts. The transmogrification of the traditional Jewish-dance style of "As David Did" into a punchy salsa arrangement, complete with verses sung in Spanish is refreshing and bursting with joyful praise. The hand waving "Ain't it Good" could be described as a fusion of Latin & Gospel, evoking a response of "Amen!" from this reviewer. Another Gospel flavored track, "Cry Holy," leans toward the anthemic and is a stirring example of a song that can and does bring me to my knees. There are more "traditional" Latin tracks and others with more pop sensibilities, but all in all this debut is a wonderful collection of finely crafted songs and arrangements. Highly recommended. If you get a chance to see these guys live, do so. They rock as hard as this disc does, Plus, they're really nice human beings as well. Talk to 'em after the show!"

Great praise music

"I saw Salvador a month ago at the DCLA Christian youth conference (they are great to see live) and immediately bought this CD. I'd suggest you do too! Salvador combines a wonderful latin beat with excellent vocal talent to produce an awesome CD. My two favorite songs on it are "Cry Holy" and "Halleluja." I also really enjoy Montanas, a Spanish song based on "if you have faith like a mustard seed, you can moves mountains.""

Salvador-YES!

"I bought this album on the advice of a friend who knows I like the group "Burlap to Cashmere" (especially their more latin-inspired songs). SO, never having heard one of their songs (or so I thought), I purchased it. I Popped it into my CD player and low and behold, the first song "Lord I come before you" plays. 'Hey! I thought to myself, 'I've heard this song on the radio before...' and the rest is history. While the first song is not my favorite on the album ( I especially enjoy the songs "Montana", "Cry Holy" and "Alabar: Al Senor"), I truly love this album! It's fun to listen to, gets your heart a pumpin' (great for my long drive to work in the morning!) and these guys really pack some powerful lyrics into their songs. They love and worship the Lord! Salvador is very similar sounding to "Burlap to Cashmere", which I consider a good thing. And since Latin music is kinda 'the thing' right now, I hope they do very well. I look forward to hearing more from them and to seeing them in concert when they come to my area next month! Good job guys!"
