Book excerpt: Mercedes Sosa, one of the most influential artists of all time, was a woman who overcame differences and never stopped doing what she believed was right. Despite personal losses and constant persecution, her dedication to helping the poor and the working class was the driving force behind her music. Nicknamed, "The Voice of the Voiceless", Sosa used her voice to transmit the strength and fire needed for cultural and personal change and for decades, she was a dynamic force in shaping Latin America. Mercedes Sosa - The Voice of Hope portrays Sosa's extraordinary life and career and draws a psychological profile that provides insight into the artist's character and actions and reveals how her upbringing, political environment and personal afflictions shaped her. Through Anette Christensen's eyes, we see the incredible journey of Mercedes Sosa, and the impact this remarkable woman had on the world. We feel her pain, her joy, her triumphs, and her struggles, as if they were our own. And in the process, we discover the transformative power of art, music, and human connection. Christensen's work is not just a tribute to Sosa's legacy; it is also a guide to healing and growth. By sharing her own personal journey, she shows us how we can use the lessons of Sosa's life to overcome our own challenges and find a path to inner peace.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Con su poderosa voz y su irresistible presencia en el escenario, la cantante folklórica argentina, Mercedes Sosa, era una intérprete de clase mundial, cuya influencia fue mucho más allá de las fronteras de la música. Incluida en la lista negra como una de las personas más peligrosas para el régimen de Argentina en la década de 1970, se convirtió en el punto de referencia subterráneo para los pobres y oprimidos, y en un icono de la democracia que luchó contra los dictadores de América del Sur con su voz. Junto con su carrera de toda la vida, que le valió cuatro premios Grammy, Sosa también trabajó como Embajadora de Buena Voluntad para los niños en América Latina y el Caribe, y se le otorgó el prestigioso puesto de Vicepresidenta del Consejo de la Tierra. Apodada "La voz de los sin voz", Sosa surgió como una leyenda y una madre muy querida de América Latina. Aunque Mercedes Sosa fue una de las artistas más reconocidas en la música internacional y colaboró con músicos de la talla de Luciano Pavarotti, Sting y Joan Baez, ella siguió siendo una heroína desconocida fuera de América Latina. Sin embargo, ahora diez años después de su muerte, el legado de Sosa continúa brillando. Su ejemplo de integridad y solidaridad sigue vivo y la convierte en un modelo a seguir que señala el camino hacia un mundo más empático y compasivo. ¿Pero cómo una niña criada en una familia pobre de la clase trabajadora india obtuvo tanta influencia? Mercedes Sosa, Una Leyenda explora el secreto detrás del notable impacto de Sosa y revela cómo su educación, circunstancias políticas y tragedias personales formaron su vida y su carrera. Se encuentra a punto de conocer a una mujer que lo inspirará con su coraje y autenticidad. ''En su voz, la vida se convierte en canción con un aroma a esperanza tan dulce y hermoso como la flor que crece en los caminos de aquellos que buscan''. ''En este trabajo encontrarás una nueva y conmovedora perspectiva de nuestra amada Mercedes. Es un sincero y afectuoso tributo en honor de la vida de mi madre. Gracias, Anette, por todo tu esfuerzo, en el nombre de la Fundación Mercedes Sosa''. -Fabián Matus, hijo de Mercedes Sosa y presidente de la Fundación Mercedes Sosa.

Download or read book The Militant Song Movement in Latin America written by Pablo Vila and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2014-05-01 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Latin America in the 1960s and 1970s underwent a profound and often violent process of social change. From the Cuban Revolution to the massive guerrilla movements in Argentina, Uruguay, Peru, Colombia, and most of Central America, to the democratic socialist experiment of Allende in Chile, to the increased popularity of socialist-oriented parties in Uruguay, or para-socialist movements, such as the Juventud Peronista in Argentina, the idea of social change was in the air. Although this topic has been explored from a political and social point of view, there is an aspect that has remained fairly unexplored. The cultural—and especially musical—dimension of this movement, so vital in order to comprehend the extent of its emotional appeal, has not been fully documented. Without an account of how music was pervasively used in the construction of the emotional components that always accompany political action, any explanation of what occurred in Latin America during that period will be always partial. This bookis an initial attempt to overcome this deficit. In this collection of essays, we examine the history of the militant song movement in Chile, Uruguay, and Argentina at the peak of its popularity (from the mid-1960s to the coup d’états in the mid-1970s), considering their different political stances and musical deportments. Throughout the book, the contribution of the most important musicians of the movement (Violeta Parra, Víctor Jara, Patricio Manns, Quilapayún, Inti-Illimani, etc., in Chile; Daniel Viglietti, Alfredo Zitarrosa, Los Olimareños, etc., in Uruguay; Atahualpa Yupanqui, Horacio Guarany, Mercedes Sosa, Marian Farías Gómez, Armando Tejada Gómez, César Isella, Víctor Heredia, Los Trovadores, etc., in Argentina) are highlighted; and some of the most important conceptual extended oeuvres of the period (called “cantatas”) are analyzed (such as “La Cantata Popular Santa María de Iquique” in the Chilean case and “Montoneros” in the Argentine case). The contributors to the collection deal with the complex relationship that the aesthetic of the movement established between the political content of the lyrics and the musical and performative aspects of the most popular songs of the period.
