When she first burst onto the scene here in the US, naysayers said she was really just a girl from Brooklyn called Amy Camus (her name backwards). It was her marriage to fellow Peruvian Moíses Vivanco that was a bit of her downfall, he didn’t really know how to manage her or what to do with her remarkable voice. As a kid, I always loved to listen to my mother’s LP of Voice of the Xtabay, my all time favorite Yma album. Years later she became quite a cult heroine here in the US, attracting many fans decades younger than she. I had the opportunity to meet Yma twice here in LA, and even at her advanced age (back when I met her she was already in her late 60s or 70s), she was still quite the diva. When she went back to Peru (last year? two years ago?) it was quite the event. Truly a unique voice and personality. I wonder how she’s doing these days, as far as I know she’s still alive, but must be in her late 80s.
