Club Chileno de Chicago

The most dignified Latin American voice is singing to Chicago.

Thursday, June 7, 2007 at 8:30 PM will be remembered for the best Latin American music in Chicago’s history. Mercedes Sosa, the voice of Latin America, will perform at the UIC Pavilion (University of Illinois at Chicago) with her special guest, Mexican singer Guadalupe Pineda.

Mercedes Sosa and her guest will be in their national tour, which will include songs from Sosa’s most recent CD, “Corazón Libre“, winner of the 2006 Grammy.

You will hear their old hits like “Gracias a la vida“, “Alfonsina y el mar“, “Canción a todos” or “Unicornio azul“, which when sung by Mercedes Sosa are truly anthems.

During the past two decades, the globalization of the Chilean economy has often been cited as a successful example of openness, liberalization, and export development. Today, Chile serves as a gateway to Latin America because of its status as a vibrant democracy, as well as a regional economic leader.

Alejandro Ferreiro became the Minister of the Economy of the Republic of Chile on July 14, 2006. Under his stewardship, the Ministry is responsible for implementing and overseeing programs which create sustainable and meaningful economic growth and commerce for the country.
