Honestly, when I first listened to this song, it didn't do much for me. Mainly because I had no idea what they were saying. I assumed from the start it was a religious song, it just has that religious tone. But, when I researched the artist I actually found them pretty cool. The artist is SAVAE, or, San Antonio Vocal arts ensemble. These people preform music from history, they kind of tell historical stories through re-creating the music of that specific era. So, yeah, it's pretty cool.
The recording artist was probably trying to accomplish the importance of religion in any society. The title obviously deals with the the Virgin Mother. Faith and religion, no matter in what form, is very important to basically anyone, and fuels the heart and desire and accomplishments of many people. And the first explores to America were mainly Christians, a Spanish Cristian song for Spanish Christians. This particular song probably highlights the very beginning of America, the initial discovery. This song very well blends in with American History. This song is of a different language than what the Americans speak today. And, as many people seem to forget, America did not begin with Americans. So the contrast in language I think is a reminder of what really got America started, it's discovery.
