Historical notes
Liner Notes
Miracles re-unites the extraordinary five-octave voice of Peru's Yma Sumac with Les Baxter, the producer of her first album, The Voice of the Xtabay (released in 1950).  Acclaimed for her powerful and unique artistry, Miss Sumac achieved world fame during the Fifties with the use of Mr. Baxter's productions.  He has chosen to record Yma in a contemporary setting with a four-piece rock band and modern recording techniques.  The results are a stunning showcase for an unparalleled performer.

Yma is an adventurous musician.  She has conquered many modes, from Peruvian folk songs, through operatic arias, as well as popular Latin songs and international folk music.  Now, in her very unique way, she tackles rock.

Miracles melds the most extraordinary music of this century with the most extraordinary voice of three generations - an improvisational tour de force.
