I would be highly remiss as a fan of 1960s lounge/exotic music if I did not mention that today is the birthday of Yma Sumac, Peruvian singer extraordinaire. Born September 10th 1922, Yma Sumac was one of the most unique and recognizable voices of the 1960s. Capable of singing with a range of over four octaves, she was basically a real life version of The Diva from The Fifth Element.
She came along at the right time, as postwar prosperity allowed people to travel further and faster than before. Servicemen returning from the islands of the pacific and Europe craved the music, food and art of the places that they had stayed during the war. The Exotic was a hot commodity, and Yma perfectly encapsulated this. Haunting and mysterious, her voice could transport the listener to the vanished world of the Incas.
