Yma Sumac, the Peruvian born singer died Saturday night in Los Angeles CA.
Ms Sumac's spectacular multi-octave vocal range and exotic persona made her an international sensation in the 1950's.
If you are not familiar with her music, I strongly suggest you check her out. She was a unique performer with incredible skills. She released many albums in her career, and Mambo is my favorite. It gives full play to her incredible vocal range.

RIP Yma - thanks for the many many songs!
