Back again for seconds December 10, 2008
I first purchased this album on a 10 inch 33 1/3 record back in the 1950's. I had forgotten all about her and her fantastic vocals until recently when I heard she had passed away. When I did a search for her on amazon I was happy to find that there was a cd of her Mombo album and it had been mostly digitailly remastered. Now I can listen to her once again in clear scratchless song.

I've never heard such sounds before. December 6, 2008
Perhaps everyone should own some Ima Sumac. Maybe everyone can't understand or appreciate it. If beautiful, exotic, other-worldly is the sound for which you seek, Ima is for you. Not for everyday, but it brings life to the special occasion.

I remember listening to this on my folks' hi fi when I was growing up. It is as impressive as it was then and fun to listen to now.

Was very pleased with my purchase from your company and the fast service was a pleasent surprise. I plan to buy many more DVDs and CDs in the future and would not use another company.

This CD is not only the most "fun" CD I have heard in ages, the musical arrangements are top notch and Ms. Sumac is even more amazing than on Voice of the Xtabay. The Musicians (yes, they deserve a capital "M") are excellent, well-coordinated, playing as tightly as one, and yet inspired, sounding like they are totally "in the moment."
For the most part, the melodies, especially on "Bo Mambo," are beautiful and haunting. They are saved from being overmelodramatic by the intense, driving, yet "partylike" atmosphere generated by the orchestra.
Good humor abounds on this CD. On "Malambo No. 1" Ms. Sumac's vocal antics make you laugh out loud with delight. Her trademark "growl" is used in full force in a couple of numbers, adding to the fun atmosphere.
I could go on and on. However, you have to hear this CD to fully appreciate it. Buy it now, and be prepared to be amazed, entertained, and totally satisfied with your purchase!
