Yma Sumac: Inca Princess

Peruvian vocalist Yma Sumac, arrived in the US in the 1950s, introducing the country to exotica. Her unique voice that shot in its peak five octaves, brought her success worldwide.

Contrary to urban legend, her real name is not Amy Camus (Yma Sumac spelled backwords), and she was not born in Brooklyn. She is Peruvian, and claims to descend from a line of Inca royalty.
