Mercedes Sosa Artist Snapshot:

Referred to as "La Voz de la Gente" (the Voice of the People), Argentinean singer Mercedes Sosa has the technical precision and nuanced delivery of a classically trained vocalist, with an utter devotion to political causes, cultural pride, and human expression most associated with the folk realm. Her stirring and highly personal interpretations of other people's songs has made her the queen of the nueva canci¢n movement, a socially progressive Latin American music scene that emerged in the 1960s (and continues today) whose songs mesh folk idioms with pointedly political lyrics in protest of the rampant human rights violations of the military dictatorships that abound. Although briefly exiled abroad in the 1980s, Sosa toured internationally, and recorded to universal acclaim right up to her death in 2009 at age 74.

Review

Dirty Linen (p.62) - "Sosa still has a strong voice and plenty to say about her homeland and its people. Her many fans will find this to be an album of consistently high quality."

Title Note

Personnel: Mercedes Sosa (vocals); Eduardo Falu, Luis Salinas (vocals, guitar); Coqui Sosa (vocals); Alberto Rojo, Jorge Giuliano, Oscar Puebla (guitar); Javier Casalla (violin); Norberto Cordoba (bass guitar); Chango Farias Gomez (cajon drums, bombo, percussion); Facundo Guevara (percussion).

Recording information: Studio ION, Buenos Aires (2004 - 2005).

On 2005's CORAZON LIBRE, the beloved Argentine vocalist Mercedes Sosa offers up beautifully spare songs that mostly originate from the northeastern region of her native land. The minimal instrumental backing--mainly consisting of acoustic guitar and light percussion--is ideal here, since it allows the focus to remain on Sosa's achingly gorgeous voice, which masterfully conveys a wide range of emotions. Renowned for her social conscience, Sosa uses her dynamic singing to relate tales of poverty ("Los Ninos de Nuestro Olvido"), celebration ("Solo pa' Bailarla"), strife ("Sufrida Tierra") and liberation (the title track). Decades into her remarkable career, Sosa's voice and spirit remain in fine form, a point proven by this subtle, outstanding album.
