I've been writing for this section of Otra Onda/Youth Wave since the "Vida Cristiana" magazine started and I have never used this privilege to promote a part of a the ministry that God gave us to reach the youth. In this occasion I want to dedicate this article to my buddies and partners in life, that go with me everywhere and are true soldiers on the frontline. I'm talking of the band where I am the lead singer, Zona 7. I want to dedicate this article to them, who are paying a price sa that Jesus can be known to today's Youth.
What is Zona 7? Zona 7 is the name of a rock band who's passion is to impact their generation with a message of hope, thru a musical style that young people enjoy. Originally formed by seven guys who wanted to reach the youth strategically : James Victoria -Rapper From Colombia; Luis Macias, volunteer, rapper and Bassist from Mexico; Tommy Dicesare - volunteer keyboard player and bgv's from argentina. Jr Montes- percussions from USA; Ramon (Moncho) Canizales, Guitarist from El Salvador; Raul (Rudy) Ramirez- Drums from USA and Victor J Cardenas- lead vocalist from USA
¿Como me Ves?It was the firs full length CD of Zona 7 produced by Emmanuel Espinosa, with a different punch than most of the recordings in this genera. The Cd was released in the summer of 1999 under the Canzion Producciones record Label. The Latin rock band Zona 7 dedicated itself to promote their recording touring inside and outside the US. We shared many flight hours and many long hours on the road, we practically lived together for three years. During this time we realized that what brought us more satisfaction out of the sacrifice we made as a band, was seeing all those young people come to Christ in middle of the music, concerts and events. We received letters and emails about kids who had invited their non christian friends to come and listen to our crazy music, but it injected life. Many of their friends changed their ways just by listening to the music. In the year 2001 Zona 7 released a record with a spanish band called Comision. The recording called CZ7 was released by the label Vida Music. This praise and worship recording has the purpose to offer the youth a Praise and worship style "a la Zona7". We know that this recording, even though it is not a Zona 7 style rock recording, has been a blessing for thousands of young people that enjoy praise and worship.
