Yma Sumac or Nina Hagen?? - Beyond Tiki

Aside from the fact that they both do extreme thigs with their voices, paricularly in the realm of radical jumps in pitch, I don't see any similarity bwtween Yma and Nina. They both do reside in my CD collection, however. Now, I think I read that the Amy Camus legend was untrue, and that Yma's real name is indeed Yma. But what IS true is the Lene Lovich is from Detroit, not (as her image would suggest) some unidentified country east of the iron curtian. And what does Lene have to do with Yma? About as much as Nina does. But Nina and Lene? Well, all I can say is theat their collaboration for the Animal Rights charity LP was a good idea; badly executed. -JT, professor of musicology.
