"The Colombian will take part of the new disc of the folkloric singer. Gallery of images.
The singer Mercedes Sosa plans to edit a new disc, in which she will include the song "El àngel de la bicicleta" of Leòn Gieco. Mercedes Sosa plans to sing the topic that speaks about the social militant Claudio Pocho Lepratti – murdered in December, 2001 – together with the Colombian singer, Shakira.
Paradox of the destination but the feminine voice of the folkloric singer, 72 years old, will sing with the wife of Antonito De la Rùa, son of the ex-president who precisely left his order in the middle of the black December in which Pocho Leprati and approximately 32 persons lost the life because of the police repression during December 19 and 20 of this year in the whole country.
In her step along Rosario, Mercedes Sosa counted in an interview with the journalist Alejandro Simonetto – Radio 2 and Channel 3 – that in August will initiate her new production, with a repertoire of 38 songs. Between the available topics that will be a part of her disc they are "Desarma y sangra" of Charly Garcìa; "Rìo en espiral", of Antonio Birabent, "El àngel de la bicicleta", of Leòn Gieco, and "La insensatez", "Zamba para olvidarte" and "La torcida".
The popular singer expressed that she has the desire to share the recording of the song of Leòn Gieco devoted to the social militant Pocho Lepratti with the Colombian singer, Shakira. The intention reported by Mercedes Sosa is to enrich the song of Gieco that already has a rhythm of cumbia with the popular Colombian chords that come from the vallenato and the cumbia of this Caribbean region.
Fact is not minor, the topic of the song will cause several noises besides sounds. Fact is that the Colombian singer is neither more, nor less the wife of the son of Fernando De la Rùa- Antonito De La Rùa – who was a president in December, 2001, tragic month in which 33 persons were murdered in the frame of the incidents and declarations that ended with the resignation of the chief.
The work of Mercedes Sosa will turn out to be unpublished since there will be an important selection of good songs and especially because for three years the folkloric singer does not edit a disc. "
