Description

Cover artwork for the samba "Meu xexéu". An illustration of five men is featured on the page, with one singing in the front while the other four sit and play various plucked string instruments. The men are dressed wearing large-brimmed hats and bandanas; the singing man also has a large knife or machete tucked into his belt. All five of the men are barefoot, and banana trees can be seen behind them. The name "Acquarone" appears in the lower-right corner of the image, possibly indicating the cover's artist.
