摘要
Zoila Augusta Emperatriz Chavarri del Castillo(1922-2008),以她的艺术名字Yma Sumac而闻名,她以独特的声音,美丽和异国情调的形象震惊了世界。这位秘鲁歌手成为了一个传奇和偶像,而她的生活和事业在她的祖国内外都充满了争议和悖论。20世纪40年代初,在秘鲁民族认同的发展过程中,她首次成为一名广受赞誉的民谣歌手,并很快因其民间艺术在拉丁美洲得到认可。到20世纪90年代末,作为她的经纪人和丈夫莫伊萨梅斯·维凡科(mois Vivanco)领导的三重奏组的一员,她在美国开始了自己的职业生涯,这将导致她的音乐风格发生根本性的变化,并创造了一系列关于她的出身和身份的幻想。作为一名出色的现场表演者,她不知疲倦地周游世界,她的唱片传到了世界各地,她的第一张专辑《Xtabay之声》从未绝版。伊玛·苏马克在20世纪50年代参与了两部主要的好莱坞电影,并于1960年在好莱坞星光大道上亮相。2016年,苏马克被追授了一个谷歌涂鸦。作为国际知名的秘鲁人之一,她与自己的国家关系不太好,但幸运的是,在她去世前两年,她得到了祖国的尊重和认可。她的艺术生涯很长,一直表演到20世纪90年代,但她的名声在20世纪50年代达到顶峰,当时她被称为“异域女王”,表演一种二战后在美国流行的音乐风格。
Yma Sumac: The Extraordinary Peruvian Singer and Her Paradoxical Career
Zoila Augusta Emperatriz Chavarri del Castillo (1922–2008), best known by her artistic name, Yma Sumac, startled the world with her unique voice, beauty, and exotic persona. The Peruvian singer became a legend and an icon, while her life and career were filled with controversy and paradox in and outside of her native country. She first emerged as an acclaimed folk singer in the midst of the development of Peruvian national identity in the early 1940s and soon became recognized for her folk art in Latin America. By the end of the decade and as part of a trio directed by her manager and husband, Moisés Vivanco, she started a career in the United States that would lead to radical changes in her musical style and to the creation of a series of fantasies about her origins and identity. A prodigious live performer, she traveled around the world tirelessly, her recordings reached far and wide, and her first album, The Voice of Xtabay, has never been out of print. Yma Sumac participated in two major Hollywood films in the 1950s, and in 1960 her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame was unveiled. In 2016 Sumac was posthumously honored with a Google Doodle. One of the most internationally known Peruvians, she had a problematic relationship with her own country, but fortunately, two years before her death, she was properly honored and recognized by her native country. She had a long artistic career, performing into the 1990s, but her fame reached its peak in the 1950s when she became known as the “Queen of Exotica,” performing a style of music popular in the United States after World War II.
