Our Take

Yma Sumac, the enigmatic Peruvian songbird or should I say song-goddess, has captivated listeners with her rare recordings and live performances. This latest album is a treasure trove for fans of exotic vocalists and those with a taste for the truly out-of-this-world.

The tracks on this album showcase Sumac's incredible vocal range, from the deep, primal lows to the soaring, ethereal highs. It's like she's channelling the spirits of ancient Incas through her otherworldly voice. The live performances transport you to a mystical realm, where you can almost feel the jungle heat and smell the incense wafting through the air.

Sumac's music is a unique blend of traditional Peruvian folk sounds, infused with an avant-garde sensibility that pushes the boundaries of what is possible with the human voice. It's like she's a sorceress casting a spell with every note she sings.

So, if you're looking for something truly different, something that will transport you to a place beyond time and space, then look no further than Yma Sumac's Rare Recordings & Live Performances. It's a musical journey unlike any other, and one that will leave you spellbound from start to finish. Trust me, you won't regret it.
