Seat down and relax, what you are about to see is a real nature's miracle. If you ever wonder how a Gandharva or an Apsara would sing, you will now have an opportunity to know it. Born in Cajamarca, Peru, Yma Sumac’s voice, will take you to a closer encounter with that sublime realm:
"The great Peruvian soprano/mezzo/alto/tenor as she appeared in "Secret of the Incas," a 1954 film set largely at Macchu Picchu in Peru. She may be lip-syncing, but she recorded the original track and her voice is incredible. She's singing the first cut from her first album, "Voice of the Xtabay"
Yma Sumac sings "Taita Inty" (Virgin of the Sun God)
Here is another version in B&W:
YMA SUMAC
Yma Sumac at the second cut on her first album "Voice of the Xtabay" near Macchu Picchu at the conclusion of the 1954 movie "Secret of the Incas." Notice Charleton Heston's brief appearance; his wardrobe was the inspiration for Indiana Jones forty years later! This film has never been released on VHS or DVD:
Yma Sumac sings "Ataypura" (High Andes)
