BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA (AP) - Famed Argentine folk singer Mercedes Sosa has been hospitalized with pneumonia.
Fabian Matus, Sosa’s son, says the singer was brought to a hospital after suffering from a fever and dehydration.
The illness forced 73-year-old Sosa to suspend the presentation of her latest album “Cantora,” which she recorded with musical artists including Shakira, Julieta Venegas, Caetano Veloso and Vicentico, among others.
The folk singer has recorded more than 70 albums. Her signature song is “Gracias a la vida,” or “Thanks to Life.”
Matus told Buenos Aires-based television station Todo Noticias that his mother will probably remain in the Trinidad clinic in Buenos Aires for two or three days.
Sosa was hospitalized on Monday.
