Let's make this birthday one to remember.

89 years old (Born on July 09, 1935)

Happy Birthday, Mercedes Sosa! If your voice were wine, it'd only get richer each year—luckily for us, your timeless albums like "Será Posible El Sur" age just as gracefully. You've brought countless smiles and inspired heaps of impromptu sing-alongs at dinners worldwide; surely you're the secret conductor behind every heartfelt rendition of folk tunes.

From fueling revolutionary spirits with nueva canción to making a tambourine ballerina out of all our hearts—you've done it all with passion and grace. Somehow you manage poetry in lyrics while rocking ponchos better than anyone else could dream! Keep shining bright forever.
