The story behind
The song *Los hermanos* brings us a deep reflection on unity and brotherhood, a concept that Mercedes Sosa knew how to convey with unparalleled strength. She, also known as La Negra Sosa or La Voz de América, defined herself as a "cantora," a distinction that resonated with the spirit of the New Latin American Songbook. This way of understanding music, where "the singer is the one who must," is reflected in the choice of themes that sought to convey a message and a genuine connection with the audience, beyond mere entertainment.
Born in San Miguel de Tucumán and passed away in Buenos Aires, Mercedes Sosa became a central figure in popular music in Latin America, extending her reach to Europe, Israel, and East Asia. Her career spanned various genres, from folklore to tango, rock, and pop, demonstrating a versatility that enriched her legacy. Throughout her career, she recorded emblematic albums such as Canciones con fundamento (1965), Mujeres argentinas (1969), and Homenaje a Violeta Parra (1971), each contributing a distinct facet to her immense work.
