Queen Of Exot¡ca,The Complete Studio Recordings 1

Yma Sumac counts as one of the greatest divas the world has ever heard. By birth an Inca Princess - a direct descendant of Atahualpa, the last Inca Emperor - but better known as a queen of the exotica movement, this Peruvian singer who conquered the world had an incredible voice spanning four octaves. This 4CD set compiled by Olivier Julien contains every studio recording that Yma Sumac made from 1943 to 1959, and covers the Golden Age of a singer whose career reached the summits of international popular music.
