Hanford, yes it is Yma Sumac...and I think Tangaroa might confirm that it's her voice you here doing the octave jumps and bird calls in the tiki room...it's only during one part...

Tiki Bars.....

You don't hear any similarity?

Put on "the voice of ixtabay" and then follow it with "nunsexmonkrock"....the semi-operatic bird call effects she does with her woice, and the low growly sounds she gets..the "octaves" as you say, are exactly the influence Nina gets from Yma sumac! No one besides those two singers make that sound!
