Album Notes & Community Reviews

Attempting to recontextualize her astonishing multi-octave vocal range for the counterculture generation, the celebrated Peruvian soprano collaborated with acclaimed rock producer Les Baxter. The resulting studio session is a remarkably bizarre and captivating fusion of psychedelic rock grooves, heavy funk instrumentation, and her signature, otherworldly exotica vocal acrobatics.
