The life of Peruvian exotica pioneer Yma Sumac is the stuff of legend. Raised high in the Andes near the Ecuadorian border, Sumac developed an incredible five-octave range by imitating local birds and after marrying the composer and bandleader Moises Vivanco, began an incredible career that would see her feted across the globe. Released in 1954, fifth studio album Mambo! is one of the greatest of her entire career, the smooth diction of her sung lyrics broken up by operatic trills and wordless scat vocals the likes of which has never been equaled. A must-have for Yma Sumac devotees and all fans of exotica -- best played loud!

2013 reissue; originally released in 1961. Peruvian singer Yma Sumac glided effortlessly from contralto to coloratura, her voice covering a range of no less than four octaves -- skeptics even suspected studio trickery!

This is the first time ESP-Disk has released this concert on vinyl. To fit it on a single LP, the orchestral tracks that Ms. Sumac does not sing on were omitted from the vinyl, but the CD is included as a bonus insert, so that purchasers of ESPDISK 4029LP can hear the entire concert. Live in Bucharest, Romania 1961. Romanian National Radio-Television Orchestra; Sile Dinicu, conductor; Moisés Vivanco, conductor on "Amor Indio," guitar; Cholita Rivero, second vocal.
