YMA SUMAC
Sir,-How much longer are listeners to be fobbed off with the Yma Sumac legend? Station 2YD recently broadcast a series of records of this alleged singer which were nothing more than incredible animal noises purporting to be chants to Peruvian Sun Gods, earthquakes et al. I am more than a little suspicious that some shrewdie on the other side of the Atlantic has dreamed up this original approach in the matter of extracting easy money from recording companies and a gullible public. Is she indeed a genuine product of some remote Peruvian fastness or, as I believe, Amy Camus (in reverse), from Brooklyn’s Lower Side? Awav with these shams!
ALL FOR BURNING
