Description

Cover artwork for the marcha "Lero-Lero". Four figures in Carnaval dress stand on a beach with mountains in the distance. The largest figure (on the right) is dressed as a king, holding a scepter with a red ribbon tied at its top. The smaller figures on the left--one man, one boy, and another figure whose is only visible by their arms on the edge of the page--are clapping and playing percussion instruments. The lower right corner of the page features a photo of the singer Orlando Silva, who recorded the piece with RCA. A white box with the name "Mendez" and "Rio 741" appears to the right of the king's feet, possibly indicating the cover's artist.
