Double CD containing 4 complete classic albums (Exotica: Voice Of Xtabay, Inca Taqui (Chants
Of The Incans), Legend Of The Sun Virgin and Mambo!) by exotica pioneer Yma Sumac. In the
early 50s, when her first recordings appeared on the market, many were amazed by her
extraordinary voice. Sumac's music has experienced a recent much deserved renaissance and
decades later her voice coupled with the arrangements of legends Moises Vivanco, Billy May and
Les Baxter is still nothing short of astonishing! A mysterious and fascinating character, she is
an artist whose pure talent transcends time and genre.
