Voice Of The Xtabay

(652/8)

Yma Sumac (VotX - PER - Oct 50) - Voice Of The Xtabay

14.10.1950

Essential Peruvian soprano. Incaredible - think Nobby Solano en Boca, Nazca Blue Lines, and other cliches. The first three tracks are incredible and the album improves with every listen.

Influential jazz that has you checking the wardrobe that Gene Krupa isn't in there banging away like a man possessed. Krupa isn't just a drummer - he's the drum.
