Sumac, the Peruvian-born soprano who wowed international audiences in the 1950s with her stunning vocal range and modern take on South American folk music, died Saturday, Nov. 1, 2008, at an assisted-living home in Los Angeles after an eight-month bout with colon cancer, according to Sumac's friend and personal assistant Damon Devine.
