Mercedes Sosa en Argentina

When Mercedes Sosa recorded Mercedes Sosa en Argentina in 1982, she was already a recognized figure, a voice that resonated throughout Latin America. This album, released at a particular moment, brings together a selection of songs that reflect her deep connection with Argentine folklore and her ability to interpret songs that became anthems. The essence of her style, that way of singing that Facundo Cabral defined as "must", is manifested in each of the interpretations, where the emotion and the message of the lyrics gain unusual strength.

About the album

Mercedes Sosa en Argentina, according to DoReSol

Within this work, there are songs that stand out for their emotional weight and meaning. "Soy pan, soy paz, soy más" is an example of that vital force she conveyed. Another peak moment is "Gracias a la vida", a song that became an emblem of hope and resistance. We also find "Alfonsina y el mar", an interpretation that evokes melancholy and poetic beauty, and "Sólo le pido a Dios", which resonates with a deep reflection on the human condition. The selection of songs shows a journey through the popular songbook, from intimate pieces to those with a broader social reach.

This album, with its 20 tracks, is a testament to Mercedes Sosa's career and her commitment to the music that defined her. Songs like "Volver a los 17" or "Fuego en Animaná", along with others like "Drume negrita" or "Años", compose a sonic mosaic that allows us to appreciate the breadth of her repertoire and the depth of her voice. The inclusion of "Canción con todos", a song that transcended borders, underscores her role as an ambassador of Latin American music.
