La voz de la zafra (translation, "the voice of the harvest") is the debut album by Argentine singer Mercedes Sosa. It was recorded in 1961 and released in 1962 on the RCA Victor Argentina label.[1][2] The album, as originally issued, included 12 songs. Eight of the songs were composed by Armando Tejada Gómez and Manuel Óscar Matus, Sosa's husband. It was reissued in multiple countries and under other titles, including Canta Mercedes Sosa and Mercedes Sosa.[3]
The album was considered an antecedent of Argentina's "Movimiento del Nuevo Cancionero" (New Songbook).[4] The Argentine Ministry of Culture wrote that La voz de la zafra and her second album Canciones con fundamento "established her on the Latin American scene not only because of the quality of her voice and her singing but also because of her enormous social commitment as founder of the Movimiento del Nuevo Cancionero."[5]
