Ana Libia (died 16 October 2023) was a Mexican singer of bolero music.[1]
Born in Tierra Blanca, Veracruz,[2] she was noted for her work with songwriter and composer Gonzalo Curiel in the late 1950s.[3] As the vocalist of Curiel's orchestra, she recorded the Curiel song "Luna amiga", which was included in the compilation album Ritmo candente, vol. II (1958), released by Orfeón.[4]
In 1965, she recorded a studio album titled Veracruz with pianist Everardo Ortiz. This record was later reissued with the title Éxitos de Toña la Negra by Suave Records. She was a frequent guest performer on Jorge Saldaña's television program Nostalgia in the 1980s and performed several songs in the program's 13th anniversary episode.[5]
Her brother, Víctor Manuel Sosa, was a notable singer of Mexican folk songs in the 1970s.[3][6]
