Argentine folk singer and activist Mercedes Sosa has died aged 74 after suffering kidney problems.
Sosa's popularity in Latin America spanned four decades, but she fell foul of the Argentine junta in the 1970s.
Her latest album has been nominated for three Latin Grammy awards, which are due to be announced in November.
Dubbed "the voice of the silent majority", Sosa was credited with championing the poor and fighting for political change.
