Reaction - The One-and-only Yma Sumac Singing "Pachamama"
Wow. The only other singer I can thinking of with such an unusual voice is Klaus Nomi, but of course Yma Sumac is completely unique.
Information from the person who shared this wonderful, high-definition video ( th-cam.com/video/5PF4ewWwBYE/w-d-xo.html) :
"15th september of 1960 was launched "Las Canciones Unidas", Yma Sumac's fifth movie of her career. She sings her international hit "Virgin of the Sun God", also knwon as "Hymn to the Sun", "Pachamama" or "Taita Inty". The single was number one at the UK Singles Chart for several weeks and its album "Voice of the Xtabay" too at Billboard charts in 1951.

    You cannot compare how “offended” you are to how U.S. citizens of 1936 felt about Al Jolson’s and Wini Shaw’s screen performances in blackface. Moreover, you constantly gloomily saying “blackface, blackface” detracts from the enjoyment of this film clip. It’s obvious you don’t understand or like Jewish performers from the 1920s, ‘30s and ‘40s who performed in blackface.

      Agree/ only thing is mostly Society in general these days is totally brainwashed to have nothing but total hatred of what is simply a dated art,. The BRAINWASHING IS FOR ONE REASON -TO PROTECT CONTEMPORARY PROFIT! I have a DVD, you may also? FayaT Nicholis at an Eddie Cantor Society meeting, in the 1990's, maybe early 200's? and discussion comes up about him, and Harold? Just forget the specifics? Anyhow in a Cantor Movie, in a minstrel scene with Eddie, and others. in and out of blackface. Fayat reacts this way.'. Begins singing. ' I WANNA BE A MINSTREL MAN" - and then stating' Oh the pretty girls in that scene, now that's what I call intergration! of course he, and everybody laugh. It would not have personally mattered to me. if Al, or Winnie Shaw was not in blackface here, but still in a 1936. or any time aspect there is still nothing wrong with it. in THE ISOLATION OF THE SEQUENCE. collating it with Jim Crow/ slavery etc etc, of WHICH CONTEMPORARY PROFIT PROTECTORS DO. IS WHAT DISCRIMINATES IT!

      If you don't want to hear my comments, just watch the original video. The link is right there. To respond: Naturally I don't "understand," but that is the point of a reaction channel -- to experience, to try to understand, to experience. If I already knew everything and had listened and watched this many times, why would I be making a recording of it? Again, if you want to watch the performance, you are welcome to watch it without me. Another purpose of this channel is to hear from people in comments who will explain and teach, agree, disagree. I will say that understand a great deal about Jewish performers of the early 20th century, going back to the 00s, 10s, 20s, 30s etc., but not this /particular/ aspect. So, instead of condemning my ignorance, why don't you say something constructive, like give me references to where I can hear people's original reactions or read the history? If you art going to criticize, back it up, or it's simply rude. Something else that is rude is to make accusations of bigotry to someone who you don't know at all. (Maybe you are not doing this but other people have done that.) I don't need to prove to you my "cred" on this, but it still insults me to have someone tell me what I know/feel. Maybe I can guess some things about you, but I won't because you don't say anything.

      OK, that makes sense. I know there was a long tradition of singing about the South, often in a romantic way. I'm not sure if Stephen Foster was the first, writing song like "Camptown Races" and "My Old Kentucky Home." Many times the writers of the songs would never have even visited the South, they were from New York and following more of a tradition or a trope. At least the Gershwins had to go on vacation in the Carolinas before writing "Porgy and Bess."

      I know the song "Bird Dog." I will add it to my list. Funny story. When I was growing up, our family vacation was always camping. We would go away for a week or more into the woods with just our canoe and a tent. Anyway, I remember on one trip we were paddling on a river in New York state. My dad would often sing folk songs (like "My Darling Clementine") but one time he started singing the Everly Brothers. He started singing "Wake Up, Little Susie" and it was great until he forgot the words and said "Susie, we just woke up and we are in DEEP SHIT." My mom and dad got married in 1957 and this was their kind of music.

A DUMMY CARD PLAYED TO WHAT THE REAL REASON IS, HE JUST DATES BACK SO FAR, He is SEEN AS ANTI CONTEMPORARY! things started to change by about the early 1970'S, but for about the past 20 - 30 YEARS HE HAS MORE AND MORE GONE UNDER THE COUNTER. THANKS TO THE INTERNET. DEVOREES CAN UNITE. I AM NOT OVER THE MOON WITH THE MINSTREL BLACKFACE THING IN GENERAL. AS AN ENTERTAINMENT, BUT WELL KNOW THE EVIL DESCRIPTION OF IT IS OVER FABRICATED TO PROTECT CONTEMPORARY PROFIT, AND IF THAT IS SATISFACTORY WITH ANYBODY, AND THEY DON'T WANT TO RESEARCH ANY FURTHER FINE. OF COURSE I. NOBODY IS GOING TO BE ABLE TO HAVE ANYBODY COME OUR WAY, IF THEY DON'T WANT TO, BUT THANKS TO POSTS LIKE YOURS HERE IT GIVES US A CHANCE TO HAVE OUR SAY PUBLICLY, AND SUGGEST TO PEOPLE WHERE THEY CAN RESEARCH THINGS MORE, AND ABOVE ALL BE EXPOSED TO THE LIKES OF THE GREAT AL JOLSON! THANKS SINCERELY!

    I most DEFINATELY APPRECIATE YOUR WELL STUDIED ANALYSIS OF THIS AND ALL THE CLIPS YOU POST. some I agree with and others not. Firstly CAB CALLOWAY. whom you note as your IDOL and there could not be anybody better to have as an IDOL, or to me more as a significant link to a past entertainment, up until virtually now, with Blues Brothers etc. Mind you, he was a babe in the woods, compared to Al Jolson in 1936/ who's career began in 1896. CAB is about 27 here. AL is 51. I agree with you/ to me, Cab wins vocally here, and I am wondering if he had that swooping voice all his adult life, or it changed/ louis Armstrong's did . Not Sure about Fats Waller? I have never known any bodies to change as much as AL JOLSON'S did. Although others will say Frank Sinatra. Bing Crosby/ Elvis/ people like this. YES, they might have done different types of songs, and technology altered in their time. But the changing of technology, and his voice with it, is MUCH MORE PRONOUNCED WITH JOLIE FROM 1911 TO 1950. Which there is EVIDENCE OF ON RECORD. FILM AND RADIO. His vocalizing like every thing else he does is a mixed bag, but THERE IS SOME REAL CLASSICS IN THERE! To try and put it all into context and perspective. AL JOLSON WAS NOT ONLY BORN INTO, BUT ALSO DEVELOPED HIMSELF, AND DOMINATED, in a TIME, WHEN NOT THAT YOU EXACTLY HAD TO GET IT SPOT ON THE FIRST TIME, OR YOU WERE FINISHED, but in VAUDEVILLE, RECORDINGS. THEATRE YOU COULD NOT RELY ON SOME TECHNICIAN TO CORRECT YOUR STUFF UPS/ PUT IT THAT WAY! and you were here and there all over the place, More than not you had to DO IT RIGHT! I first got to know of AL JOLSON, when I was a toddler, in the early 1950S via his records then, relatives had, or just by his songs being sung or played, or talk about The Jolson Story/ Sings again, The combination of those movies in the mid 1940'S. played by somebody else. AND HIS GENERALLY FULLER RICHER MORE PALATABLE VOICE THEN IN BETTER TECHNOLOGY IS WHAT GENERATED A RE BIRTH OF INTEREST IN HIM WHICH REMAINS TO THIS DAY/ AND STILL IS THE MORE PREFERED WAY TO GET IN TO HIM. THE ODD ONE, WILL SAY THE JAZZ SINGER. GO INTO YOUR DANCE. HEARING AN EARLY RECORD ETC. BUT THERE MORE HISTORICAL INCLINED, Larry Parks who played him is more subdued, but catches the essence of him. many prefer that, than the generally more EXTROVERTED AL JOLSON WE SEE ON FILM. That to some, can be over the top, if you don't put it all in to context and perspective, that in film AL was restricted to THE LIMITED REQUIREMENTS. he just could not be everywhere. DO WHAT HE LIKED HE COULD ON STAGE. The technology particularly in early sound years was very limited also. You can still see however, his sheer joy of performing. even just imagining he is playing to an audience, even though it is studio technicians etc. CAB CALLOWAY, WHAT I HAVE SEEN DISPLAYS THIS AS WELL. Some of the more electric clips of him on film, AL are tootsie. the Jazz Singer, and in Rose Of Washington Square. Sitting on Top The World/ Rainbow Round My Shoulder/ The Singing Fool. Used To You./ Say it with Songs. Liza Lee/ Hooray For Baby and me/ BIG BOY. VIVA LA FRANCE/ WONDERBAR. Ones like About A quarter to nine, with Ruby keeler are nice, WELL produced and all, but he is not so dynamic. ALL, Or most are on You tube. AL insisted CAB GOT EQUAL TREATMENT WORKING WITH HIM IN THE SINGING KID. AND THAT HE STAYED IN AN APARTMENT LIKE HE DID. THE VERY BEST THEN!

    Please "normalize" your audio in future videos. That means making the clips the same volume as your voice. As a viewer, I had to hover on the mouse the whole time, and every time you spoke up, I had to turn the volume down. Then when the clip started again, I had to turn the volume way up. Most editing software has a feature to easily "Normalize" your audio automatically before rendering. Best of luck on your new channel.

    • @DarlingReacts
      @DarlingReacts 20 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I didn't notice the audio had come out this way until I was editing it and ran the raw video. I wanted to boost the audio of the clip without upping my voice but it didn't seem possible. Not sure why it recorded that way, as the others I recorded the same day didn't. Thought about re-recording this but it's never the same once you've seen it. Maybe I can find a way to fix the audio and re-upload.

    I think the reason why black people loves Al Jolson despite his minstrel performances is due to him being a "white" person promoting black music and playwright in a segregated America. He even threatened to not participate in acting "The Singing Kid" if Cab Calloway wasn't paid fairly for his role in the film. His "Mammy" act in the last part of "The Jazz Singer" was, according to the president of the Negro Actors Guild and I quote: "[h]e was always the champion of the Negro songwriter and performer, and was first to put Negroes in his shows". Of Jolson's "Mammy" songs, he adds, "with real tears streaming down his blackened face, he immortalized the Negro motherhood of America as no individual could." Another reason I think why black people may have excuse his minstrel acts is because it's the least of their concerns due to this was all happening while the KKK had the most amount of members in history (numbering in the MILLIONS), lynchings, race riots, anything that would threaten a black man, and someone simply painting their face in burnt cork is the least life threatening thing towards their community. Take the 2nd part with a grain of salt because it's my theory.

    If you genuinely want to know what black people of the time thought of this, then may I respectfully suggest you source an interview given by Cab Calloway regarding this very subject, who incidentally also starred in this film. Of course, you may already mention this in your video but to be truthful, after listening to your tired, bigoted views, I simply gave up after the first three minutes.

    • @DarlingReacts
      @DarlingReacts 22 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I'm not sure how my comments can be classified as "tired, bigoted views." Who I am I being bigoted towards? I was trying to work out the whole dynamic between the minstrel and the other performers, in real time, to make sense of it. I genuinely don't know if they were OK with it or not. I hate it, 100 years later, but that's my contemporary perspective. As for finding an interview with Cab Calloway or his contemporaries, that's an excellent suggestion. Do you have any recommendations for books or online sources?

      @@DarlingReacts - I am in possession of a radio interview with Cab Calloway in which he discuss the issue of blackface but unfortunately the biggest problem would be how I can actually get this to you. One suggestion may well be if you were to contact the International Al Jolson Society and whereas I obviously I cannot speak for this organisation, they may be able to forward you a copy of it.

      The presenter here. is dominated by contemporary forces hell bent on nothing but their personal glory. approval gain and profit, without any concern for anything or any body else. Elsewhere,[ it might have been removed due to some you tube legalities or such? ] I have linked both the American and Australian Jolson Societies for the presenter, if she wants to, too check them out to be exposed to varying opinions. understandings/ links to sites etc focused on minstrelsy blackface etc. some allied with you. ONLY THING IS /DUE TO YOUR DEVOTION TO CERTAIN HIGH PROFILED ABOVE ALL IN AL JOLSON CORE INTERESTS AND CONCERNED PLATFORMS/ YOU HAVE YOUR OWN LAWS/ ALLIED WITH OTHERS DICTATING OVER ALL. MANY DECENT CONSIDERATE PEOPLE ARE TOTALLY BANNED FROM EVEN BEING ABLE TO BE PART OF SEVERAL AL JOLSON SITES! IF YOU CONCEDE THIS DOG WITH A BONE ATTITUDE IS THE BEST WAY TO PERPETUATE AL JOLSON AND GET HIM EXPOSED TO AS MANY AS POSSIBLE - I DONT! PARTICULARLY CONSIDERING YOU HAVE DOMINANCE TO LINK YOURESLF BACK WITH THOSE YOU CAGED, WHEN YOU WANT TO EXPERIENCE WHAT THEY HAVE TO OFFER! THE REAL TRUTH REALITY BOTTOM LINE IS YOUR NOT DEDICATED TO AL JOLSON BUT YOURSELF!

  • @margaretthomas8899
    @margaretthomas8899 22 วันที่ผ่านมา

    I thank you very much for your consideration, and for your studied insight into this sequence, you certainly did not run the other way, as too many do with anything connected with Al Jolson. That not being due to basic blackface/ but just that he is THE ANTI CONTEMPORARY CHRIST/ in an Entertainment perspective, he is the ADAM of popular Entertainment in fact, and if you are the first of anything, you have to also be the most ancient'/old/ and antiquated, even if in fact you are not. From middle to old age, Al Jolson was part of electronic technical media, with stars that arrived when that did, Garland/ Crosby/ Sinatra, Calloway etc etc. BUT HE STILL EVEN THEN HAD THIS OLD MAN OF SHOWBIZ REPUTATION, because he not only was part of but originally MADE IT HUGE in the STONE AGE/ THE PRE ELECTRONIC AND TECHNICALLY AGE/ STILL SO FAMILIAR TO US OF EVERYTHING! INCLUDING ENTERTAINMENT. Publicists/Public relations people, sponsors, publishers, politicians, anybody, and everybody in control of humanity, and FINANCIAL, OR PRESTIGE ADVANTAGE, will CONDEMN, in the past that has the potential of infringing on their CONTEMPORARY MANIPULATION OF ALL AND SUNDRY. It is obvious CORPSES DON'T BUY ANYTHING! Blackface, where JOLIE is concerned, with other things, the bad person he was? His general old ways? are all of course manipulated and fabricated out of obvious sensible in context consideration to get everybody to hate and totally avoid him! Now I can meet half way with you, in considering watching something like this from a as I write this 2024 perspective. As I am not brainwashed by PROFIT PROTECTING BRAINWASHING, I can still appreciate it from it's in time perspective, but to anybody viewing it now, with contemporary brainwashing or not, it still is ODD. How darker complexioned people, felt about blackface then, or Al Jolson, or anybody, then, or at any time it would have varied depending on time and place and their own situations. I have audio interviews with Cab Calloway/ and videos of Faya Nicholis making it obvious, THAT THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH BEING IN MOVIES WITH EDDIE CANTOR/ AL JOLSON, ETC DOING MINSTREL STUFF. In fact in a video I have of Faye Nicholis at an Eddie Cantor Society meeting, he jokes about a minstrel sequence he was in , in an Eddie Cantor movie, where blacks and whites were mixed, some in blackface like here, mixed. That's Wini Shaw the SISTER, in BLACKFACE. think she was pretty big as a radio singer at the time? Anyhow Faya, makes a joke about the pretty white girls he was admiring in this sequence in the Cantor movie, commenting "NOW THAT'S THE INTERGRATION I LIKE! The attendees laugh their heads off of course. Some of the minstrel, in fact musical old sing-a-long days in Entertainment, don't include blackface/ like in White Christmas, but they still refer to it, and there is blacks only ones acting FOOLISH, as is the MODERN DESCRIPTION OF IT. I.E JUST WATCHED MOMMA'S HOUSE THE OTHER NIGHT! I think, EVERYTHING IS MY CONCLUSION and I respect everybody's right to differ, or have different understandings, but 2 fairly recent movies Bamboozled and Minstrel Man, pretty certain all done by/ acted in etc by non whites. pretty well, they may have financed whatever? The Former is nothing but A VEHICLE FOR CONTEMPORARY PROFIT, where as the other is much more genuine and based on more of a proper insight into the real period of Minstrelsy from like 1830 something to about 1910. and gives a more balanced perspective. Al Jolson Eddie Cantor. Bert Williams a black man, were not just basic minstrels, but characters, or performers blacked up, playing roles in different stage shows and movies. In core CONCERNED AL JOLSON INTERESTS IT IS AN ENIGMA, the whole blackface THING, THERE IS THOSE DEMANDING OBLITORATE IT ENTIRELY. IT IS DESTROYING ANY HOPE OF MAINTAINING ANY LEGACY FOR HIM/ OTHERS THE OPPOSITE MAINTAIN AND ENDORSE IT/ IT WAS HIS TIME. HE DID NOTHING WRONG FOR THE TIME/ ALL LOVED IT/ BLACK WHITE OR OTHER/ AND THERE IS PLENTY OF EVIDENCE FOR THAT. Then there is those in the middle as long as it is explained, disclaimed etc etc, I CERTAINLY DON'T GO AS FAR TO TRY AND REMOVE IT TOTALLY FROM MEMORY, that would not work, because where JOLIE is concerned, well it is like Jimmy Durante/s nose to him, or Loius Armstrong's gravelly voice, it's instantly linked with them. Al Jolson he was the singer who put black on his face is, ALMOST ALWAYS THE FIRST THING THAT COMES UP IN ANY CONVERSTATION ABOUT HIM, disclaimers etc only confuses things, and there is no way to be exact, we just don't know, what happened, and how things really were centuries ago, or at least began then. ALL we can do is I think, like you indicate here, this is ok, but the blackface turns you off. I respect your right to come to that conclusion, from your more modern angle. So what I do, around All Al Jolson interest sites. Facebook etc, and others connected, Broadway/ movie musicals. vaudeville, old time radio etc, is avoid as best as possible concluding blackface in photos. videos, articles etc, and focus on him in sports coats, top hats. and tails, turtle neck sweaters which was a more later modern Jolson persona, like the sounds, of the big bands etc. much more palatable today, than that of the older styles of much earlier times, connected with the blackface, In historical context I use it, like in a recent A1 video I put around touching on some of the varying singing styles Al used in his time.

Instead of repeating "and then" when describing the villian actions, he has the woman victim screaming them. 1. Here is his recording of it, with black and white silent movies style cartoon pictures added. th-cam.com/video/-yYQ8CwZ1k8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=L4jAfnYEEIUB568w 2.
