RENAMED
FOREVER AS “LA NEGRA”, MERCEDES SOSA TOOK OFF FROM HER
ENDEARING TUCUMÁN TO FLY WITH HIS SONG TO OTHER LANDS AND
BECOME THE BIGGEST SINGER WE KNEW HOW TO HAVE.
THE
VOICE OF AMERICA .
THEN
OF HIS FIRST PERFORMANCE IN COSQUÍN (1965), THE LARGEST FESTIVAL OF
ARGENTINE FOLKLORE, LA NEGRA UNDERTOOK A JOURNEY THAT LED HER TO THE
IMMEDIATE CONSECRATION. HE PERFORMED ON THE MOST IMPORTANT STAGES
OF THE WORLD (CARNEGIE HALL OF NORTH AMERICA, PARISIAN OLYMPIA), AND
SHARED DISCS AND PRESENTATIONS WITH GREAT NATIONAL ARTISTS AND
INTERNATIONAL, LIKE LUCIANO PAVAROTTI AND STING. BUT & NBSP; EL < SPAN LANG = "EN-GB"> & NBSP;
& NBSP; CON
HIS MUSIC CAME TO SING THE SILENT VOICES OF A WHOLE
CONTINENT.
THROUGH HER "SINGING WITH FOUNDATION", SHE BECAME A
TRUE AMBASSADOR MORE THAN NATIONAL, LATIN AMERICAN. SO WHAT
REAFFIRM THE NUMEROUS AWARDS HE RECEIVED FOR HIS TALENT AND
SOCIAL COMMITMENT: HE OBTAINED SEVERAL LATIN GRAMMY AND WAS AWARDED BY THE
UNESCO FOR ITS WORK IN DEFENSE OF WOMEN'S RIGHTS. 
ALL
CHANGE .
DURING
HER LIFE IN MENDOZA GAVE BIRTH TO A REVOLUTIONARY SONG. THERE TOGETHER
WITH OTHER ARTISTS, HE FOUNDED THE NUEVO CANCIONERO. IN THE MIDDLE OF THE "BOOM"
OF ARGENTINE FOLKLORE AND EFFERVESCENT 60S, THIS MOVEMENT
WOULD RENEW THE POPULAR SONG, BREAKING THE BOUNDARIES BETWEEN
MUSICAL GENRES AND THE CORSET OF THE ESTABLISHED POETIC LANGUAGE,
TO SING WITH THE FREEDOM AND UNITY THAT THE CONTINENT NEEDED.
“ YES
THE SINGER IS SILENT, LIFE IS SILENT ” .
STILL
IN POOR HEALTH, EVEN IN POLITICAL EXILE, BLACK CONTINUED
RELEASING
HOPE WITH A CRY IN YOUR VOICE ,
AS IT SAYS SONG
WITH ALL .
IN 2009 DEATH TRIED TO SILENCE HER FOREVER, NOT TO MENTION THAT HER
SINGING WAS ALREADY THE ROOT OF A PEOPLE THAT CONTINUES TO SING IT. & NBSP;
