You have to watch the 5 videos to notice the different voices she had, from the lower (the first videos) to the higher (the last videos) notes she could perform.
"A voice as powerfull as earthquakes and as soft as bird songs"
"Una voz tan potente como temblores y tan suave como musica de aves"

@Neisfai So true! There's no one like her! She could even imitate birds! :)
By the way, have you ever heard about Charles Kellogg? He had 12 1/2 octaves, and he could also imitate birds. His style was way different than Yma's, but I think he was really amazing! :-P

She was a straight line female descendant of the last Incas' king

@abbekiubebe you scared? lol what a fag.... xd

@abbekiubebe - She mentions in one of her videos that from her early years she imitated the sounds of the Amazon, from bird calls to animals big and small, so that's probably how she developed those sounds. I can relate to that. ;- )

I didn't know they're called growls! They're completely different from the Death Metal growls, which are produced by the false vocal chords. I think she used her chest voice to produce them. Seems very hard to do the ''double voice'', though. I haven't really heard anyone else singing like that! She had such an unique talent! :)

@FrozenMermaid666 Yma sumac is one of a kind, she could do amazing things with her voice, and that´s because she liked to do any sound possible with it since she was a child.
