Historical notes
Liner Notes
Sumac's Voice Belies Her Years
Although the voice may be somewhat less extraordinary than in the past, such failings are to be expected when a body stares 65 years in the face. But Yma Sumac is still capable of unleashing her vaunted and storied five-octave range. The results are still nearly as awe-inspiring as they were in decades past. "Such voices happen only once in a generation," wrote a bygone critic from a bygone newspaper, and Yma's is still quite remarkable if, for nothing else, because this is not the sort of voice one generally encounters in a nightclub.

The voice may even be less extraordinary now than the persona whose mere presence causes adoring fans to almost weep. Yma Sumac appeared starting Wednesday, November 9th through Saturday, November 19th, 1988, at the then-new Ruggles Cabaret & Bar in Chicago.

Ruggles
Elegance is in style at Ruggles Cabaret. Chicago's newest listening room, situated in the mammoth Royal-George Theatre complex, offers a refreshingly sophisticated alternative to the brassy, yet burgeoning Halsted Street bar scene. Within the Royal-George Theatre center, almost a city within a city, you can have a traditional English dinner at the adjoining Cafe Royal, see a play next door, sip a drink or two at the handsome wooden bar or listen to music at Ruggles-all under one roof.
