Yma Sumac

[TheSoulflower]

Wonderful singer....as for the Mariah Carey slam, why did Ms. Carey need to be mentioned? Why can't each kind of singer (Barbra Streisand, Rosemary Clooney, Maria Callas, Aretha Franklin, Patsy Cline, etc. whomever...) stand alone on her own talents and not be compared to one another? Why can't we just say that how great Yma is without putting down another singer?

[SekhmetVT]

Yma was amazing. I'm happy someone put this video together.

[rosellTC]

POR SIEMPRE YMA SUMAC... VIVA EL PERUUUUU

[nafer666]

En Cuzco en el 1589, el último sobreviviente de los conquistadores originales del Perú, Don Mancio Serra de Leguisamo, escribió en el preámbulo de su testamento lo siguiente: Encontramos estos reinos en tal buen orden, y decían que los incas los gobernaban en tal sabia [manera] que entre ellos no había un ladrón, ni un vicioso, ni tampoco un adultero, ni tampoco se admitía entre ellos a una mala mujer, ni había personas inmorales.

Personas como Yma Sumac hacen que me sienta orgulloso de ser peruano.

Ella fue admirada por la textura de su voz a nivel mundial.

Ojala futuras generaciones intenten igualarla o superarla.

Donde quiera que estes Yma Sumac, gracias

Por tu musica, y por ser peruana.

Que impresionante registro... Saludos de México.

[TheTreacle52]

First heard her when I was around 14, my mother had a 45 record. I thought she was THE most exotic singer, with such incredible range. Even at my age, I could hear and appreciate, her wonderful singing. Always thought, she is THE only one, that could sing at her levels, of 123-2270 dcb"s. Beating any other artist, to this day?

[williwunder69]

Genial die Frau! Mannomann

[sirduststarr]

Gopher Mambo is the name of the song it actually shows up in the video. I heard it in ordinary decent criminal and had to look it up on YouTube not my usual type of music but gotta admit I really like it very unique sound.

[gutacampos]

Absurda de boa.

[FelipeChileno88]

Realmente impresionante. Saludos desde Chile.

[witchums]

It looks as if this is a video of Yma Sumac when she was more mature, but she still has one of the most beautiful voices I've ever heard.

[EIVENAKI233]

cual es el nombre de esta cancion ?

[darkelsi]

espectacular la voz de yma sumac :)

[edumardel]

Un espectáculo Yma Sumac!

[c0011y5383]

This is Amazing Joe used to drive around Paris listening to this lady!!! Perhaps he still does?

[storperu]

La gran diva peruana, incomparable!

[Spookitalaneese]

Yma had the most dynamic range & diverse tonal qualities I have ever heard, hands down ! Someone posted this earlier, but I will gladly repeat: She was a diva before there were divas.

[jrtrmish]

A freak voice., Sort of a female Ivan Rebroff. Howwever, she could not sustain it for an operatic performance.

[Calliopeice]

This comment is false... Yma Sumac has done Many operatic performances in some of the finest places in the world.

Infact she had Many Standing ovations (one which lasted 20 mins in Italy!)

[Roisia]

@jrtrmish bullshit on that

[Roisia]

@jrtrmish

[sanguche2]

@jrtrmish shes considerate the best singer of the world...

[riddleswings]

Billy May and his crew.......Tough and driving....her best recordings were w/him. He backed up LOTS of great singers...

[hulaqte]

i grew up listening to her, on my father's Hi-Fi-

while i don't disrespect Mariah or Julie Andrews, if one remembers that Yma has a distinctive sound thats all her own, then then its well worth knowing her singing is in her own category-she was a Diva before Diva's were invented!

[starlima787]

por q siempre tienen q compararla con la atorrante de mariah carey....no entiendo.

Yma Sumac es única

[victormanueification]

Maria Callas la soprano no Maria Carey jejejeje

[victormanueification]

I'm so sorry starlima i didn't read the comments below, and actually I don't know how Mariah Carey sings because I never ever heard her, so I don't know why many people compare carey with the great Yma Sumac.

[trumo888]

Busca el siguiente video en youtube:

YMA SUMAC Chuncho.

Y comprueba si georgia brown puede llegar a hacer esas variaciones de voz, esos efectos de sonido puros y naturales que caracterizaron a Yma Sumac..

Brown solo grita en una forma muy prolongada y aguda, y obviamente tiene un buen diafragma, es todo lo rescatable.

[trumo888]

Georgia Brown le llega a los tobillos a Yma Sumac.

Cualquier conocedor de musica te lo puede corroborar.

[MiauuuXDD]

Yma Sumac fue la mejor cantante en su género. No creo que exista otra mujer en el mundo con esos registros vocales.

[U2tera]

Ella tuvo un registro vocal muy variado, si bien no fue cantante de opera, llego mucho más allá.

[GoodMomo]

I used to listen to this everyday when I worked on Cirque du Soleil's 'Quidam' they had a small intermission act based on this song.

[BeeAnne01]

Omg u worked on Cirque Du Soleil.... I love Cirque Du Soleil so much esp the contortionists

xxxxxxxxxx

[muis63]

It's not only about how high she could hit it but it's about the range, Mariah Carey would never be able to hit the lows that Yma could and then hit the highs she did.

[o0o0HeyYou0o0o]

she could be the best singer in the world

[MarruK624]

She's amasing, magnificent, awesome, marvelous, fabulous, fantastic, breathtaking, pretty, a legend unbelievable, well you get the point!!!!

[lucaskarq]

5 OCTAVES when I'm one note ..haahahah..amazing singer

[Itapallu]

[lilico98]

rammstein122, if you are not at least 80y.old,than you have no say on the matter...so, go f**** yourself and stop being a duchbag...

[GuitarWhisperer]

At first I was like I don't get it, but then the coluratura and beautiful head tone! Nice!

[Calliopeice]

Not to mention the Amazing RANGE!

From Low to high.

[MetalMachinex]

8 octaves is inhuman, she was able to do 4 which is extremely much.

[diegdiegdiegdieg]

5 octaves

[Braka89]

We share birthday! Happy birthday at sunday september 13th, Yma! :D

[Calliopeice]

Yess! HAPPY BIRTHDAY YMA SUMAC! This would be her 87th b-day!

[ChuquinaupaPERU]

Este 10 de septiembre nuestra YMA SUMAC cumpliria 87 años...No la olvidemos."HAPPY BIRTHDAY"

[rammstein122]

Que verguenza, tiene que fallecer un diosa de la música para recien ser reconocida. Veo mucha hipocresía, se nota que muchos ni siquiera conocían de ella y ahora pretenden presentarse como conocedores.

[yuzaman]

What beautiful voice!! great

[zensorship]

[tavy4489]

ms :) avem o tara plina de "artisti" si "vedete" :))

[punkercrazy55555]

ce plm ai fututzi mm de ratat in pizda matii ?

[hulaqte]

mariah carey,julie andrews have a 4- octave range voice- yma has a 5 octave range voice -dad had her albums and i enjoyed them very much....

[BambooLulu]

mariah carey has a vocal range?

interesting, i wonder when that happened.

[hulaqte]

LOL....now, at least Julie Andrews can account for hers.....

[BambooLulu]

:) hah

[Tsukikuroi]

Your vocal ranges are a little off. Mariah Carey has demonstrated 5 octaves live and Yma has demonstrated 4 and a bit octaves live. In her prime they did say that Yma had 5 octaves but there's no evidence of it, probably as there are no recordings of many of her performances.

[hulaqte]

right, they didnt, but if they could, you would found that Yma indeed surpassed Mariah, anytime,anyday

[hulaqte]

because, ahem.... this is about Yma Sumac....enuff said....i belive there another vid out there about Mariah,go rav about her THERE..

[Tsukikuroi]

I wasn't raving. You were the one that raised both Mariah and Yma, I was informing you that your estimates as to their vocal ranges are way off.

Go learn some music theory.

[hulaqte]

LOL- and yet you had to bring it to my attention- cause why? oh yesssss, cause you want recognition for Mariah- well here ya go- MARIAH CAN SING!

so can Julie Andrews,Cheryl Lynn, and Minnie Riperton if you read my past posts, then you know Georgia Brown holds the highest whistle register @10 now YOU go learn some music history

[RaciouS91]

Among all whistle register singer, mariah carey's whistle was different.

pls listen

1. Emotion

2. Fly Like A Bird

3. Oh Holy Night

4. I Wanna Know What Love Is

If there is the most highest whistle,

then ur throat will suffer.

[hulaqte]

according to wiki, that would be Georgia Brown-

[RaciouS91]

Em.. Georgia could be..

[tigerwa]

@hulaqte No one is saying pariah (Mariah) cant sing we all just think she is a smarmy bitch.

[hulaqte]

i don't care for her either, since i'm sure when she married Tommy Mattola after he divorced his first wife,Lisa, of almost 19 years of marriage, was a calculating move on her part too- yes Mariah can sing- i could too, to the tune of his net worth-

Yma, as far as i'm concern,didn't have marry the head record producer to get her start-reconized on her talents alone-gotta love her for that and her great voice....

[WhiskeyyWoman]

Yma could sing in all sorts of ways. Her voice was a chameleon! I've heard her sound like birds and violins! She's insane!!

[colombineann]

Mariah carey is using her whistle rehister, she has absolutely not powerful notes, and cannot sing high notes as does an opera singer. It's pure shit.

[Tsukikuroi]

Your comment has such bad grammar it makes no sense.

I stated above that their techniques were completely different. She can hit powerful high notes, she just does it differently to an opera singer.

I wouldn't have responded to the post above correcting the assumed vocal ranges of Mariah and Yma if I knew it would cause such a fuss.

[RaciouS91]

It is not opera ok, but if u heard the 2nd whistle in Fly like a bird. It is the same, not real k..

[CCStunna]

WRONG, YES SHE CAN

[marrones22]

@colombineann Not to knock Yma, shes great, but Mariah does have a very powerful voice. However, they sing two completely different types of music. So you can't compare them to each other. There is really no need for comparison, at least they can sing and sing in the whistle register. There are many who cant even carry a tune so let them get their respect for being able to do so.

There are many great singers out there who can hit whistle register great. Minnie Riperton, Rachelle Ferrell.

[marrones22]

@colombineann Shanice, Debelah morgan, Chante Moore, just to name a few.

[yokenyips]

haaayyy!!!! su musica del cabron de beto ortiz!!

[Alelala86]

Da...a avut Moga de unde sa se inspire...ca de obicei....superba piesa...si Yma Sumac are o voce extraordinara :-bd

asi que tmb me llena de orgullo :D

jajaja

[cuyutlpep]

mariah es una gata ....¡¡¡¡¡¡ una sirvienta a comparacion de yma ... que les pasa no hay punto de comparacion ... yma es toda una leyenda en el canto lirico y mariah es solo una cantante con buena voz..... y no tiene el alcance vocal que tiene yma ... desde sus graves a sus agudos

[DarkZceros]

mariah carey tiene buena voz por ke dudarlo pero no pueden compararla con

YMA SUMAC LA PRINCESA INKA NADIE HASTA EL DIA DE HOY NADIE PUEDE IGUALARLA ESA ES LA VERDAD

[harleyqmadlove]

What is the name of this song?

[xgusto]

Ghoper Mambo by Ymas Sumac

[fossils12]

If I were to pick who were the best female singers in the 20th century, Yma Sumac, Minnie Riperton and Mariah Carey would tie as far as I'm concerned. Only these 3 deserve to be labeled "The Voice"!

[1niloc3]

those high notes are amazing. i was listening to another song posted by someone on Youtube, i had to turn it off, she was hitting some notes that had my ears hurting!!!

[saloading]

comparar yma sumac con mariah carey? WTF!!!!

[Skelanimals15]

genial, fasinante es una diosa
