Following its April 29th release, Aware, the eighth recording from Dove award-winning Word Records artist and Latin/pop band Salvador, the album has drawn accolades for its musical diversity and lyrical maturity. Produced by group members Nic Gonzales and Chris Bevins, along with Otto Price (dcTalk, GRITS), Aware features 11 selections exploring themes of thankfulness and selflessness.

National acclaim for Aware:

“The sound is ultimately top-notch, and testament that the Latin powerhouse has at last carved a musical identity all its own.”
ChristianMusicToday.com

“Take the remarkable songwriting ability of someone like Steven Curtis Chapman, mix in a little bluesy-rock from a John Mayer type; then throw back to the classic rock of Santana, and maybe toss in a little James Taylor and some Maroon Five to boot… and you’ve got a recipe for Salvador’s latest offering Aware… Salvador has once again proven themselves as a group that can bring their unique brand to the table and offer something no one else does in Christian music.”
GospelMusicChannel.com

“Most will agree that Aware is very good, not to mention diverse – an amalgamation of pop-country, Latin funk, booming horns, smooth vocals and Carlos Santana-like guitar grooves that will likely appeal to fans of most genres.”
Christian Retailing

“Flourishing in this new season, Salvador’s latest 11 songs demonstrate a new maturity in the band’s expertise synthesized with the spontaneity of their popular live shows.”
CBA Retailers + Resources

“With humble lyrics from frontman Nic Gonzales and a winning combination of musical experience and spontaneity, the album offers fans another strong CD.”

The album’s first single, “Aware”, written by Nic Gonzales, Clint Lagerberg and Jason Walker, is currently #30 (with a bullet) on R&R’s Christian AC National Airplay chart.

Known for their show-stopping, improvisational live performances, Salvador recently returned from Europe where they played concerts in the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Hungary and the Netherlands. Also, in conjunction with Pope Benedict XVI’s recent U.S. visit, the group performed at the Papal Youth Rally at St. Joseph’s Seminary in Yonkers, New York, which was attended by an estimated 25,000 people. Salvador is currently appearing across North America and will be in Southern Ontario the weekend of June 14th. Visit the YMZ Concert listings for event details.
