Colorido y exotismo a paleta plena. Su colorido y exotismo aumenta cuando lo interpreta la voz de Yma Sumac. El increíble talento de esta joven mujer posee fama internacional. Desde los festivales de su pueblo natal de Ichocán, en las alturas de los Andes peruanas hasta las salas de concierto de los centros mas cosmopolitas, los públicos han aclamado su voz a medida que se eleva y baja en dramáticas transiciones de su fabuloso registro.
En este disco de mambos, la excitante voz de Yma Sumac cree líneas melódicas tan variadas y coloridas como las selecciones que entona - selecciones escrita para ella por el talentoso compositor latinoamericano Moisés Vivanco y Billy May, que arregló y condujo los brillantes marcos orquestales.
La excitación proveniente del mambo surge de la naturaleza increíblemente contagiosa de su ritmo, tan lleno de fascinación que se ha sabido que grandes multitudes han sido tentadas de abandonar sus actividades diarias para entregarse a su encanto. Y si el ritmo del mambo por sí solo es un acaecer exótico, nadie podrá predecir cual será su efecto cuando sea oído en la grabación de Yma Sumac!
