Cover Art

Our CD cover project takes inspiration from the Elenco LPs of the 60's. Here you can see 1963 Vinicius de Moraes and Odette Lara's famous cover, one of our favourites. Our friend Giuseppe Torrente created "Samba & Amore" cover trying to respect our idea and the colours, the fonts and the bullets of the Elenco's covers.
