- What's a Xtabay?
- Hi Manny, "Xtabay," as far as I can tell, was a woman from Mayan myth. Since the Mayans lived in Mexico and Yma Sumac is from Peru, it obviously has nothing to do with Yma Sumac but I guess the advertising department thought it sounded exotic so they used it as the title. In the Links section of this site is one to a whole site about the The Legend of the Woman Xtabay, though it's in Spanish. The accepted pronunciation is "EX-tah-bay."
