LP covers: "Conj Folklorico Nacional de Cuba" & "Viejos Canto Afrocubanos"


**********
E.G.R.E.M.-Areito
classics with beautiful covers.

"Conjunto Folklorico Nacional de Cuba"
Original Areito vinyl LP/LD cover
(has been reissued on a bootleg LP in Miami)

"Conjunto Folklorico Nacional de Cuba"
Original Areito vinyl LP/LD cover
A very nice cover which cleverly uses
the light blue and red of the Cuban flag.
And the image in the center is a wood
'divining tray' used by Yoruba *Babalawos
in Nigeria (*Ifá priests).

The face at the top of the tray is the Òrìsà Esú....
which my father chose to include on several drums he carved.
