I got some sad news this morning on the Quiet Villiage podcast on the passing of Yma Sumac (obit, site, other site, wiki, allmusic, youtube), the amazing Peruvian singer. She had an amazing vocal range (four octaves) and personal style. Raise your Pisco Sour high tonight to this amazing artist and cultural icon.

yma the one and only an extraordinary voice and a look to match
why there is no woman like that any more?
