10"

These two 10"s, recorded by Yma Sumac in the early fifties, can be considered some of the best recordings of her career. Surrounded by mystery and legend, this mesmerizing vocalist (whose origins still remain unknown) has been blessed with an almost unbelievable vocal range, and her unique style has always attracted attention, particularly after the so-called "exotica" boom. Arrangements by Moses Vivanco (who would follow Yma through most of her career) and Les Baxter (responsible for almost single-handedly spawning the exotica genre). Yma's suggestive vocal atmospheres evoke the mystery of the unknown. She is an extraordinary talent who has been a source of inspiration for countless artists.
