Vaya con Dios, Mercedes

The Great Mercedes Sosa has passed away this week.The Argentinian born singer who was called "the Voice of the Voiceless" , a name she aquired for her enduring effort to the fight against dictatorship and poverty in Latin-America since the 1970-ies.She showed tremendous courage by not stopping perform during the years of dictatorship in Argentina and keep on bringing the message of freedom to her audience.I had the privilige of attending a concert of her in Utrecht here in Holland some years ago.'La Negra', as she was nicknamed too,to me was a powerfull presence on the stage.For those not familiar with her songs i have added a clip of her most famous song,'Gracias a la Vida'(Thanks to Life).I know this great lady will surely be missed by many and may she be remembered always in her magnificent songs
