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. Overall the band has withstood the test of time and, with that, many feel that they are the best Latin Christian band of all time.
