She released one rock album in 1971. This Peruvian singer with 5-octaves voice range is famous for her classical and folk career, but the album that she recorded ("Miracles") is a mixture of good rock (like The Doors with a good measure of jazz/fusion thrown in), Peruvian folk, and, at the moments when she was doing her vocal glissandi, it sounds almost avantgarde. And I think she deserves to be included...your opinions please.

I don't know this artist, but having one album that sounds like the Doors amongst a classical and folk career sounds an unlikely candidate for a prog site.

Well I really don't know if she qualifies as PA material, since it's pretty much the Doors with female vocals and as you know the Doors are proto-prog, which as you know it's not really a prog subgenre but a movement. Let's have the Psyche team take a look.
