Salgamos a Llevar el Evangelio

Easy to learn and sing
His fourth collection with OCP, Santiago Fernandez's Salgamos a Llevar el Evangelio boasts eight songs to reinvigorate liturgical celebrations. Inspired to create music for the assembly, Santiago endeavored to compose songs that were easy to learn and sing, songs that allow the faithful to fully express their faith.

Ideal for Mass
Contemporary in style, these songs are ideal for Mass as well as other ritual moments, such as eucharistic adoration. With a delightful mix of musical styles, including bolero, huapango, rock and ballad, this album features something for every musical taste. Instrumentation combines typical Latin instruments with electric guitars, mariachi-style trumpet, piano and more.

Simple melodies, powerful lyrics, inspiring themes
Through simple melodies and powerful lyrics, themes of praise, hope, evangelization, trust and more are brought to life. The uptempo title track was inspired by Pope Francis' call for evangelization in Evangelii Gaudium. It was arranged in the cumbia style of South America and even features instruments of the pope's native Argentina: the charango (a small ten string lute) and zampoña (a type of pan flute). The moving lyrics of "Con Tu Gracia" (By your grace) invite us to recommit our lives to the Lord and trust him. "Den Gracias al Señor" (Give thanks to the Lord) picks up the tempo in the Venezuelan joropo style with hints of the huapango style from Mexico, a lively song with a truly authentic sound.
