Marinera, a traditional dance of Peru is given a fine performance by Yma and has an obvious text.  Often saved for an encore, this piece and its performance shows her voice to be in fine shape and her rhythmic sense very exact.  The second verse is sung with fine florid work and at least one nice high C.
