Title Note

For those who can't get enough of the bizarre Exotica of Yma Sumac there's FUEGO DEL ANDE. Originally released in 1959 on Capital Records, this is the last of Sumac's string of popular fifties releases. At a time when world music was filtered through a Hollywood dreamscape, Sumac, and her musical director Moises Vivanco, paid tribute to their heritage with this offering of extremely over-the-top renditions of traditional South American Folk songs. Vivanco's odd and immense orchestral arrangements include a quartet of electric guitars and a full Latin rhythm section. Soaring over all this is Sumac's super human five-octave voice, which must be heard to be believed. Allegedly descended from Incan royalty, Sumac is surely one of Pop music's great curiosities.

FUEGO DEL ANDES explores different South American rhythms such as Huayano, which on the track "Mi Palomita" sounds very much like the boogie woogie of "The Munsters Theme," Peruvian Polka, and Creole Waltzes. The best tracks here are "Virgenes Del Sol" which Sumac delivers in her trademark glass shattering vocalese, and "Gallito Ciego" another huayano boogie woogie. Though not Sumac's best recording, this is certainly a worthwhile relic of fifties Exotica.
