A rare talent, there will never be anyone remotely similar to Yma in any way.Few can even come close to her range, from the highest register to a low tenor. She sounds like a bird one minute then growls like a puma the next.Her exquisite physical beauty should be noted as well making anyone not of Peruvian ancestry feel quite jealous and rather ordinary. Someday when I am fortunate enough to visit Machu Pichu I will lift a glass of pisco and toast la dona Yma Sumac...

Imac Sumac is the pride of Peru, all the love, she came and singing at the same Machu Pichu. At a height greater than three thousand meters, where it is very difficult to sing. AND SINGING! Fifty years ago

No, it was Inva Mula who sang "The Diva Dance" on the 5th Element soundtrack

This song has no lyrics as Yma Sumaq sings it just imitating songs simulating an Earthquake...this is not Quechua neither Spanish nor any other language...just guttural sounds...

I know all this of course, those are all very common and historically blind misconceptions of what the word actually "means". You looked that up to correct me or "help me" understand the word, when I know very well what words like this actually mean, and wasn't talking about what any unlearned doofus can find in the dictionary.
