In its power and its warmth, Mercedes Sosa"s is one of the greatest voices ever to have been produced by Argentinian music. And she herself has become an indisputable focal point of the entire world"s popular music. But there are two areas in which she is unrivalled: folk music and pure melody, without the addition of large numbers of instruments. Now, this world music icon delivers Coraz¢n Libre, her first studio album since 1999"s Missa Criolla, which won a Latin Grammyr Award for Best Folk Music Album. This new eDGe Music release, dubbed the guitar album, is a return to folk music, fused with the deeply-rooted poetry and melodies of her country, with references to both the Spanish and indigenous legacies that have given form to the music of the Argentine interior. The recording features today"s most celebrated South American guitarists, including Eduardo Fal£ and Luis Salinas. Deutsche. 2005.
