This beautiful Incan princess plays her fabulous four-octave range with such a variety of emotions and tonal color that the result is a unique experience.
Born high in the Peruvian Andes in 1922, a descendant of the last of the Incan kings, she started recording in Argentina in 1943. Some years later she moved to New York and was signed by Capitol Records in 1950.
In the late 1990s Sumac's profile rose again when songs of her were used in films, samples and commercials.
Yma Sumac died on November 1, 2008.
This exotic 'Hollywood-style' recording is from 1950.
