Mercedes Sosa transformed Argentine folk into a global protest force, selling over 10 million records worldwide. Her album *Canciones con Todos* reached #2 on Latin American charts in 1974, outperforming #7 Fito Paez's early works in chart longevity. Sosa's voice carried the struggle of the oppressed, blending folk melodies with lyrics against dictatorship, a legacy unmatched in Latin American nueva canción.
