Superb CD.......2007-06-28

My iPod is about to burst in flames from playing "GRACIAS A LA VIDA"and "SOLO LE PIDO A DIOS" so many times. All songs are great, but those two are out of this world. Sosa's voice gives you goosebumps and nearly brings you to tears.

Mercedes' Return!.......2005-08-06

Mercedes Sosa (1935) is one of the greatest Argentinean folk singer!
She jumped to public attention when she was only fifteen years old winning a singer's radio contest. From that point on she continues growing up as a notorious figure in the folk singers medium.
Due to difficult political situation at Argentina she was forced into exile by military Junta.
She made a triumphant and defiant return early in 1982 with a series of live concerts at Opera Theater. From those recitals this outstanding CD was recorded!

The songs of this CD reflect not only Argentinean music but a wide Latin American repertoire, collected by Mercedes in her forced errand.
"Sueño con Serpientes" authored by Cuban Silvio Rodriguez presents the struggle between the Poet & the Serpent in a dream like language. Mercedes' voice reaches very high notes singing this song.
"Maria, Maria" authored by Brazilians Milton Nascimento & Fernando Brant, with unmistakable afro rhythm is interpreted brilliantly by Sosa.
Chilean composer Violeta Parra contributes with two top notch compositions: "Gracias a la Vida" sang fervently by all the audience and "Volver a los 17" are delivered with Mercedes giving way to all her sentiment.
"La Arenosa" whose text is authored by Manuel J. Castilla and music composed by Cuchi Leguizamon, two well known folklorists, is a composition more in line with Mercedes' traditional collection.
Finally Mercedes Sosa incursion in Argentinean Rock with Charly Garcia's "Cuando Ya me Empiece a Quedar Solo" and Argentinean Tango with Cobian & Cadicamo's "Los Mareados".
Two big hits to close the CD "Polleritas", traditional motif, sang with unquenchable fire and Isella's "Cancion con Todos" driving the audience absolutely mad!

You shouldn't miss this gem by all means!

Buenísmo!.......2004-10-17

No pierdan tiempo y compren este CD. Es buenísimo, una selección de canciones que me dá ganas de haber estado en ese concierto....que pena! Pero gracias que hay este CD, que es hermoso como pocos podrán ser. Y Mercedes estaba fantástica, en lo mejor de su talento e inspiración.

THE VOICE AND CONSCIOUSNESS OF A TRAGIC HISTORY.......2003-11-10

It is probably impossible to find new words to praise Mercedes Sosa's voice and place in Argentina's popular music. Through the better part of the last forty years, Mercedes has been the tender and fierce voice of everyone who has been suppressed and quieted by injustice, in Latin America. An exquisite tone and profound interpretation of each song she's chosen to sing has made her a goddess in Latin America and Europe.
Here's a true artist and a committed citizen, singing songs that make no concessions to their beauty nor their message.
This CD is probably her best in many levels, her choices here, cover every song she's made a classic, and the fact this concert marked her return to Buenos Aires -after her exile during the years of Argentina's "infamous decade"- proves that courage must exist closely to creativity to be timeless.
Here you'll find some of the best work from Latin America: Como La Cigarra (Maria Elena Walsh), Solo Le Pido A Dios (Leon Gieco), Sueño Con Serpientes (Milton Nascimento), and many more great renditions of the best composers from the South of America.
William Carlos Williams said that "there are no news in poetry / yet people die, miserably, / from the lack of what is found there." Well, here is some of that poetry, which I know nourished me and so many others, during some of the worst moments of our beleaguered country.
Five starts because I could not give it ten!

New Fan.......2003-10-28

My Latin American Perspectives professor brought this CD in when we were studing about Argentina and once I heard it I had to get it! Truely fabulous music, I've bought another CD of hers since, but this one is my favorite. Knowing the history of Argentina and the Dirty War where 30,000 people were "disapeared" makes this CD that much more powerful. A definite buy for anyone who loves beautiful music!

La Negra Forever.......2001-05-14

High quality music has been a rule for Mercedes Sosa all her life. Her repertoir is filled with songs with profound lyricism. This CD is no exception. After exploring other rythms, Mercedes returns to her undeniably Argentinian roots. Purists of Argentina's folk music may have a little hard time to get used to some of her arrangements, like in "Ojos Azules." But, to me, this theme alone deserves paying every single cent for this CD. If that wasn't enough, the CD ends with one of León Gieco's most beautiful songs: "La Navidad de Luis," which some may find inspired in a Cat Stevens' song. As expected in every Mercedes' CD, this one comes filled with information too.
