Album Notes & Community Reviews

As a founding document of the Nuevo Cancionero movement, this album utilizes stripped-down, traditional Argentine folk structures to tackle profound themes of rural poverty and social inequality. Mercedes Sosa's commanding, deeply expressive voice elevates regional styles like the zamba into a powerful vehicle for political consciousness. It established her as the indisputable 'voice of the voiceless' throughout Latin America.
