A Little Masterpiece.......2001-07-27

Along with "Vengo a Ofrecer Mi Corazýn," [I come offering my heart] (another CD available in Amazon), "Serý Posible el Sur" [Would the South be possible?] represent the first studio incursions of Mercedes Sosa right after returning from her exile in the mid 80's. Both CD's are two shiny pearls in La Mecha's legacy to Latin American music history. The CD starts with the powerful beat of "Todavýa Cantamos," [Yet we sing] written by an Argentine songwriter Výctor Heredia who is less known in the US (except by Latin American folk fans). A nice sea of chords puts a frame to two sweet songs "Corazýn de Estudiante" [Student's heart] and "Serý Posible el Sur?" Argentine folk music is not left out: "Agosto en Tucumýn" [August in Tucumýn] and one of the best songs I ever heard by La Mecha: "Mi Abuela Bailý la Zamba" [Gramma danced Zamba]. The Zamba is one of the most lyrical and beautiful Argentine folk rythms. The strong Spanish influence in the Zamba is evident in the guitars while the rythm, carried on by the bombo, commands the movements of the dance (which has touches of minuette). Peteco Carabajal, a prolific and outstanding folk songwriter, contributes with one of his most accomplished songs "Como Pýjaros en el Aire" [Like birds in the sky]. That is how he perceives his mother's hands moving in the air. In Mercedes' voice the song touches you deeply, quite deeply. My favorite song in this CD is "Todo Cambia" [Everything changes], which relates the feelings of his Chilean author, Julio Numhauser, when he was in exile: "Everything changes... but the love for my people!"
