On Nov. 1. 2008 Yma Sumac has died at the age of
86.
Not exactly a looping artist but always a fave over
here.
If anyone has her album "Miracles" from 71 on vynil
and wants to sell: Over here, please.
Excuse the OT.

Mein Gaia! Both Yma and Jimmie Carl on the SAME day!
Curiously (or Synchronicistally? Or...?) they both passed on, on
Celtic New Year's Day (Nov.1st)
I wonder of there is some kozmik significance there? (Or....?)
I also adored Yma and have for many, many years and have several CDs
and LPs. (But, not "Miracles", unfortunately)
Also, luckily for me, someone made me a video dub a few years
ago, of a live performance she did at some(?) venue
in France (and Paris? Seems likely...) that was done in either the
very late 80s or very early 90's?
(I do not recall the moment, and the video is stored down in Thee Vault,
here at home)
It is great! Even at the age she was when this probably rare performance
was given, her voice was STILL INCREDIBLE!
Also, her "entrance" towards the stage was about as "regal" as it gets
(and she was of course, dressed appropriately),
and the crowd was cheering wildly, as if they were in the presence
of "royalty", which I guess they REALLY WERE!
