Mercedes Sosa, one of the most influential artists of all time, was a woman who overcame differencies and never stopped doing what she believed was right. Despite personal losses and constant persecution, her dedication to helping the poor and the working class was the driving force behind her music.

Nicknamed, “The Voice of the Voiceless”, Sosa used her voice to transmit the strength and fire needed for cultural and personal change. For decades, Sosa was a dynamic force in shaping Latin America.

Mercedes Sosa – The Voice of Hope portrays Sosa's extraordinary life and career and draws a psychological profile that provides insight into the artist's character and actions and reveals how her upbringing, political environment and personal afflictions shaped her. Danish author Anette Christensen paints a portrait that embodies the colors of despair, triumph, love, fear and all the other human emotions that define a life.

In an authentic and sometimes vulnerable way, Christensen shares how, connecting with Sosa as a mother figure, changed her lifeforever. Using principles of interpersonal neurobiology, Christensen explores the therapeutic impact of Sosa's life and music, and uses her own experiences to show how relationships, music, and mindfulness have the power to heal and reshape the brain.

Through both women's stories, the importance of finding acceptance and unconditional love becomes abundantly clear, along with the idea that kindness, love and compassion are what truly change the world.

Mercedes Sosa - The Voice of Hope is a history lesson, a touching tribute, and a triumphant memoir all in one. It shows the power of art to transcend cultural differences and to unite us in what is most human. 

“In this work, you will find a new and touching perspective on our beloved Mercedes. It is a heartfelt and affectionate tribute honoring the life of my mother.” -Fabián Matus, son of Mercedes Sosa and president of The Mercedes Sosa Foundation until his death on March 15, 2019.
