You have to watch the 5 videos to notice the different voices she had, from the lower (the first videos) to the higher (the last videos) notes she could perform.

"A voice as powerfull as earthquakes and as soft as bird songs"

"Una voz tan potente como temblores y tan suave como musica de aves"

+Lynn Reed-Veg Yes, it is very similar to metal growls at times...look up throat singing or false vocal cord singing if you're interested :)basically if you growl the right way/practice growling (like a scoff-like sigh), you can feel the false vocal cords moving around a bit. with more practice you can make them undulate and oscillate like this amazing lady here :)may she rest in peace <3

@abbekiubebe - She mentions in one of her videos that from her early years she imitated the sounds of the Amazon, from bird calls to animals big and small, so that's probably how she developed those sounds. I can relate to that. ;- )

Yma Sumac was one of my favorite singer way back in 1955. I could not get enough of her "Taita Inty" Virgin of the forest. I still get goose pumps every time I hear it. I am sorry for not been able to see and hear her concerts before her death in -08. Her voice range was incredible

First of all let me state that I've always loved her voice, her presentation, and don't get me wrong, I am NOT criticizing anything about her! However, they've always billed her as the woman with the 5(!) octave range - that is INCORRECT! She had a range from B2 (oct.+a Major2d below middle C) to C#7 (that is a minor 6th above the Queen of the Night's high F), also 4 oct+a Major second. I've enjoyed tremendously when she walked off the stage somewhere in Germany. MCs are sometimes idiots!
