Liner Notes
Once in a lifetime a voice comes along like no other. Yma Sumac was that voice. Born in Peru in the early 1920s, Miss Sumac developed a prodigious range by singing with nature: with the animals, birds and the wind.This Compact Disc collections brings together for the very first time some of her extremely rare live performances. The tracks on the CD were gathered from collectors around the world and cover many decades of her career from the earliest in Peru to those more recent performances. Then or now, her voice and style have never failed to rouse the audience into rapturous applause!
This was meant for you, especially for you, with love. We hope you enjoy it!
