Vastago

Vastago started playing together in Monterrey, Mexico, around 1995. They were a Christian band from the beginning, and they built an audience by performing at churches and youth events. Their early work was done on a tight budget, but they kept at it.

In 2003, they put out an album called 'Alabanzas Al Rey,' and the title track became a hit for them. That record helped them reach a wider audience, both in Mexico and beyond. Some listeners and churches, however, questioned their approach, feeling their modern sound and use of electric guitars strayed too far from traditional worship music.

They kept recording after that, with albums like 'Más Que Vencedor' and 'Páginas de la Vida.' Their music often touched on themes of worship and personal faith, as heard in songs like 'Allá En Belen' and 'Llegó La Navidad.' The band included members like Josué Rodríguez on vocals and guitar, Ulises Rodríguez on drums, Iván Rodríguez on bass, and Javier Rodríguez on keyboards.
