Description

Cover artwork of Hannibal Cruz's samba "Ele foi". A photo of singer Odette Amaral is centered on the cover, directly above a top-down illustration of a pianist in a tuxedo performing at a grand piano. The cover also features a thin treble clef, and is set over a wavy, sand-like pattern. The name "Melo" is written in the bottom-right corner, possibly identifying the cover's artist.
