Music reviews of Yma Rocks!
Music Review: Unique! There is no other record like this ever made
Rating: 5 Stars
Truly nuts.. Using her five octave range not singing but making music with her voice... Its like some really crazy vocals backed by a band that sounds much like deep purple (highway starish)... Obviously noted exotica maestro Les Baxter wrote most of the songs except for the wacked out cover of Simon and garfunkels el condor pasa (you know the one that goes "if i could i surely would..")..whats really cool about this cover of course is that yma sumac, who is still alive and living in Los Angeles at the younge age of like 84 or 85, is from peru so her covering this song is really like reclaiming a song that paul simon really took, i'm sure no harm meant, from the native american indians of south america...
