In the program, among other activities, from 14:00 local time there will be a panel “Mercedes at Home”, where the historic visit of the artist to Cuba will be remembered.
This meeting will feature the participation of Araceli Matus, Amaury Pérez and Augusto Blanca, moderated by the director of Music of the Casa de las Americas, María Elena Vinueza.
The day includes the screening of the documentaries “Mercedes Sosa” and “Mercedes Sosa: the voice of Latin America”.
This forum is headquartered in the Che Guevara Hall of Casa de las Americas.
In the meeting, the organizers shared on their social media the album “Canción con todos. Mercedes Sosa.”
This phonogram records the concert offered on the night of October 24, 1974 by the renowned Latin American performer known as La negra, essential figure of the song in the continent.
The live recording corresponds to the presentation made at the Havana theater Amadeo Roldán, as part of the intense program of activities held during that visit.
This XIII festival was born from the firm belief in culture as a fundamental axis in the search for identity and emancipation of the people.
