Track 1- Anon: Virgen Madre De Dios/ SAVAE

Date: 1990s
I believe that they tried to accomplish the recreation of the music of newly converted Christian Indians. The original creations dated back to the 16th and 17th centruies, a time when the Europeans were still exploring and discovering parts of America. This music was passed down by Indian's oral tradition as was the New Englanders story of the Mayflower. I do not listen to this music very much...well ever, but it is interesting how the voices of the males and females clash to create a very calming harmony.
