The 1976 military coup in Argentina changed everything. Sosa’s music became a direct threat. Her 1979 album Serenata para la Tierra de Uno was recorded in exile in Paris and Madrid. Yet, the most iconic artifact from this period is Mercedes Sosa En Argentina (1982), recorded live upon her return. The track "Como La Cigarra" ("Like the Cicada"), written by María Elena Walsh, became a national anthem of resilience: "Tantas veces me mataron, tantas veces me morí… sin embargo, estoy aquí" ("So many times they killed me, so many times I died… yet, here I am").
