Still have her 45 record album Voice of the Xtabay around someplace.  Used to play it regularly as a teenager.  Here are two interesting YouTubes of her singing:

Maybe not OKOM, but many of us Old Boys loved her voice & personae.  
==================
Count me in. I remember Slim Gaillard doing a tune he
called "Sumacaroonie"
also
We saw her at the Radio City Music Hall along with
Danny Kaye. He did some Sumac shtick in his act.
Great show all around.
I believe she had either a four or five octave range.
