[edit] Style
Over time the sound has changed from pure Latin funk to more mainstream contemporary in later years. During live shows Salvador tries to stay with their pure up-tempo Latin sound, while inserting a few more contemporary fan favorites. The band has evolved over the years with a wide variety of different members being put in place to accompany the different range of music and direction the band has taken.
