September 13, 1922 – November 1, 2008 was a Peruvian Soprano.Very much a classic beauty she was one of the famous proponents becoming an international success. Having a extreme vocal range some say she could claim five octaves. In my interest of the 1950's era, doing my research I came across Yma Sumac not knowing that she was the creator for the sound of the 'Mambo'. Eye closed with you ears dedicated to the sounds of her voice, takes you on a journey some where else.
