Poetic Obituaries: Mari Trini, who was born in Caravaca de la Cruz,

Murcia, on July 12, 1947, was a highly popular singer in the 1970s and '80s who came out with 25 albums, some of them big hits like "Escuchame" (Listen to Me) that included the songs "Yo No Soy Esa" (I'm Not That One) and "Una Estrella en Mi Jardin" (A Star in My Garden).

In 2005 she made a double album of her greatest hits plus a video and was honored by the General Authors and Editors Society in recognition of her extensive artistic career.

Since last year the singer lived on the outskirts of the city of Murcia readying what was meant to be her farewell concert as well as a book of poems, according to her official Web site.
