The story behind
The song Drume, negrita, with its duration of 2 minutes and 33 seconds, brings us the unmistakable voice of Mercedes Sosa. She, also known as La Negra Sosa or La Voz de América, was a central figure in Argentine folk music, whose influence extended throughout America, Europe, Israel, and East Asia. She is recognized as one of the most important popular voices in Latin America.
Mercedes Sosa was a pioneer of the Movimiento del Nuevo Cancionero and a key exponent of the Nueva canción latinoamericana. Her versatility led her to explore genres such as tango, rock, and pop. She herself saw herself more as a "cantora" than a "singer," a distinction that resonated with the spirit of the new Latin American song. This idea was reflected in her album titles such as Canciones con fundamento and Yo no canto por cantar. Among her most remembered performances are Canción con todos, Alfonsina y el mar, Gracias a la vida, Como la cigarra, Zamba para no morir, La maza, Todo cambia, Duerme negrito, and Calle angosta.
