Tapecar LPX.16
A first glance at the cover of this album clearly shows that it was released mainly as a welcome to visitors from abroad.
A second glance shows that neither on the front, nor the back cover there is the name of the conjunto, neither the name of the conjunto leader.
A third glance, now on the inside cover displays several photographs of some of Rio’s attractions, and a welcome text in several languages.
The right side of the inside cover gives also the list of all the renowned musicians (12 of them + Coral de Joab) as well as the instruments they are playing. It also shows that José Menezes has done the arrangements, yet it does not point him out as leader.
On the left side of the inside cover there is a night photograph of Corcovado and a text about Rio signed by Fernando de Araujo Neves.
So who has united these twelve fine musicians? And who it their leader?
