If someone thinks of "the voice" of folklore in Argentina, the name of the singer will undoubtedly emerge Mercedes Sosa, born in the northern province of Tucumán. Now, the woman received a series of tributes in Ecuador.
The president of that country, Rafael Correa, decorated the singer and highlighted her artistic career and her "humility." "How much we have grown with your music, Negra," said the president.
For her part, the singer said that she found peace in the city of Quito when it was persecuted by the military dictatorship in Argentina, which occurred between 1976 and 1983.
