Some info. from class presentations

Violeta Parra, Gracias a la Vida.

Gracias a la vida que me ha dado tanto

Me ha dado la risa y me ha dado el llanto

Thanks to life that has given me so much
It has given me laughter and it has given me tears.

We heard several covers of this iconic song.  The most famous is by Mercedes Soza.

Some Preliminary Questions Based on your Classmates' Presentations:
 * What was La Cancion Nueva (New Song) movement in Latin America?
Why, when, where did it appear?
 * Is there a relation between New Song and rock?
 * What do Mercedes Sosa and Argentine roquero (rocker) Charly Garcia have in common?
