Rara Avis






Was the Queen of Exotica, Yma Sumac, born on September 10, 1922, as claimed by imdb.com, or September 13, 1922, as stated on her website? Like the Amy Camus enigma, some mysteries linger on.

We're inclined to go by the official version, of course, but we couldn't resist adding these images and the following video a few days early, anyway.
Happy Birthday, Yma Sumac!
