'Corazón libre' was one of Mercedes Sosa's last studio albums, released in 2005, when her health was already beginning to suffer from the years and illnesses. The title is a declaration of principles and an expression of her free and independent spirit, which remained faithful to her ideals and her art despite pressures and adversities. Recorded at Polygram Studios, the album features a repertoire of songs by young and established authors, showing that Mercedes remained attentive to new music and new creators.
The album includes songs such as 'Corazón libre', 'El ángel de la bicicleta', 'Zamba para no llorar' and 'Canción para mi pueblo', performed with the wisdom of someone who knows that time is running out and that every moment must be squeezed to convey a message of love and hope. Mercedes' voice sounds more fragile than on previous albums, but also fuller of nuances and feeling. The arrangements, by Popi Spatocco and other regular collaborators, are careful and elegant, and seek to accompany Mercedes' voice without overloading the soundscape.
The legacy of 'Corazón libre' is that of a farewell album, but also a celebration of a life dedicated to art and social commitment. Mercedes Sosa said goodbye to her followers with this album, which was very well received by critics and the public, and became a sales success in Argentina and other Latin American countries. It is an album that invites you to listen with your heart, and to keep it free, as Mercedes did throughout her life, despite difficulties and censorship. A song of freedom and hope, from a free heart that beats until the end.
