Title
Abakuá concert program cover
Description
This is the reproduction of the cover of a concert program for abakuá music. The original concert was part of a series produced by Argelier León between 1959 and 1962. This one was of Abakuá music and the program notes include an essay about abakuá music and a transcription of some of the songs. The cover shows the ritual writing, a set of graphic symbols denoting important elements of the group's history and cosmology. I received a copy of the program at an event at Casa de Africa in 2011.
