GuacaMusic: Samaritan Revival

posted in: Features • Latin

Some people say music transcends language and cultural barriers. They argue that a song can inspire you even when the lyrics are in a language different than your own and you can’t understand a single word of it.

OurStage band Samaritan Revival could prove this theory in just a few seconds. This popular Christian singing group is originally from Honduras and travels the United States performing in mostly English-speaking churches and religious events. Their goal is to inspire people by singing in Spanish, while also offering them the opportunity to understand the lyrics by providing translations during their performance.

Sounds simple, right? Well, what started out as just a local project is now a worldwide ministry with three albums recorded in Nashville and a distribution deal with New Day Christian Distributors out of Nashville, Tennessee.

Go to Samaritan Revival’s OurStage profile and you will understand what the buzz is all about. The band is getting great reviews from fans and recently made into the Top 40 in our Latin Channel. And that’s not all. After finishing a tour of around 60 cities in the US and a two country tour in Central America, the group will be starting a new tour in March of this year that aims to reach close to 100 cities throughout the US.

While all of Samaritan Revival’s songs are inspirational, we especially like their piece Liberame and Hasta que el mundo escuche. Both of these are catchy, fun and refreshing, so even if you can’t make sense of the lyrics, you will love the music and the way it makes you feel. Now if you do speak Spanish you will most likely put Samaritan Revival among your favorite OurStage bands.

So what are you waiting for? Go listen and get inspired. ¡Provecho!
