- Maria's addition: "The one name that kept ringing out to me was Mercedes Sosa, the legendary Argentine folk singer who died in 2009. Aside from being an enormous talent who brought worldwide attention to the Argentine songbook, she was pretty fearless. Her politics were in opposition to the military junta of the 1970s and she and her family had death threats against them yet she refused to leave. She only left in 1979 when she was arrested during a concert. So she was pretty badass!"
