Los Angeles, California Oct 3, 2019 (Issuewire.com) - Now, ten years after her death, Danish author, Anette Christensen pays tribute to Mercedes Sosa in a new biography “Mercedes Sosa – More than a Song,” that reveals how a girl raised in a poor Indian working class family sang her way to influence. Christensen explores the secret behind Sosa’s remarkable impact and draws a psychological profile that reveals how Sosa’s upbringing, political circumstances and personal tragedies formed her life and her career.
According to Christensen, Mercedes Sosa is more relevant than ever, not only in Latin America but in the world beyond. “Sosa’s integrity, courage, and solidarity make her a role model who points out the path to a more emphatic and compassionate world. She awakens us and revolutionizes our hearts and our conscience and inspires us to become better people who want to make this world a better and more just place for everyone. The world is in desperate need of genuine and authentic leaders who use their impact to serve people and not their own interests. That's why Mercedes Sosa is more relevant than ever. Mercedes Sosa was more than a song. She was the voice of hope for many. ” Christensen says.
Christensen heard about Mercedes Sosa on the news on October 4, 2009, the same day the artist died. Even so, the encounter with ‘La Negra’ changed the author's life and Christensen has immersed herself into Sosa's life and music ever since.
Mercedes Sosa – More than a Song will be available worldwide in English and Spanish from all major online stores such as Amazon, Book Depository and many more. It can also be purchased from physical bookstores in the US, Canada, Spain, Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
