Mercedes Sosa's condition worsening

Doctors say folk singer Mercedes Sosa's health is deteriorating further at the Buenos Aires clinic where she is in critical condition.

The Trinidad Clinic in the City neighbourhood of Palermo says Sosa is in a "pharmacological coma and breathing with a respirator."

According to a statement issued yesterday, her prognosis has "worsened in the last 24 hours."

The 74-year-old singer entered the hospital 13 days ago for liver problems. She has since been suffering from progressive kidney failure and cardiac arrest.

Sosa has recorded more than 70 albums and is best known for her signature song "Gracias a la vida," (Thanks to Life.)

Her latest record, "Cantora 1," is up for three Latin Grammy awards next month in Las Vegas.
