Mercedes Sosa - Gracias a La Vida (YouTube)
A beautiful warm, sunny and relaxing day ended on a sad note for me.
My favourite Spanish-language singer, Mercedes Sosa died in Argentina.
Even though I never understood the lyrics of her songs, the emotive quality of her voice and the way it interwove with the melodies was understanding enough. I have loved her singing since I was first introduced to her almost 20 years ago.
I had half hoped that perhaps there was a chance of seeing her whilst here in her home continent.
Not to be.
