ペルー出身のシンガーYma Sumacの1950年1st。Les Baxterが創り出すエキゾチック・オーケストラ・サウンドをバックに、Yma Sumacのオリエンタルで異国情緒にあふれたヴォーカルが5オクターブの音域を縦横無尽に駆け巡るエキゾチカ大傑作。動画は最高にモンドな名曲「Wayra」

@miles_commodore I think they should have cast Yma Sumac as Catwoman for an episode. Imagine her hissing in 5 octaves.

Who remembers Yma Sumac, Incan vocalist?

[Dr. M.F. Khan @Dr_TheHistories]

Yma Sumac, a descendant of the last Inca emperor, 1950s....

Born Zoila Augusta Emperatriz Chávarri del Castillo in 1922 in Callao, Peru, Yma Sumac became one of the most distinctive voices of the 20th century. Her stage name, often translated from Quechua as “how beautiful”, proved fitting. Sumac stunned international audiences with a reported four-octave vocal range, effortlessly leaping from deep contralto tones to piercing, birdlike highs.

She broke through in the United States with her 1950 album Voice of the Xtabay, which fused Andean-inspired melodies with mambo and Latin jazz. The record became a sensation and launched her into performances at Carnegie Hall, the Hollywood Bowl, and major world tours. Draped in dramatic costumes reflecting her claimed Incan royal lineage, she cultivated an aura as exotic as her sound.

In 1951, she reached Broadway, and in 1960 she received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

During the Cold War, she toured the Soviet Union in 1961, an unusual move for a Western star. Her tour drew massive crowds, proving her appeal transcended politics as well as borders.
