Description

Cover artwork for J. Aymbere's "Nego Bamba" transcribed for voice and piano. The page features a caricaturized Black Brazilian couple dancing in front of a scene of palm trees. A picture of the singer Otília Amorim is at the bottom of the cover, who had recorded a version of "Nego Bamba" with a backing ensemble in 1930. The lower-right corner of the background appears to be signed with the name "Umberto della Salta", who may be the cover artist.
