Maculelê | World Music Central

The album cover for Macumbadaboa by Grupo Bongar + Maga Bo features a folk-art-inspired illustration. Stylized black figures with red markings dance, play percussion instruments, and DJ amid a festive, earthy background framed by green vines and rooted trees. Traditional dresses, drums, and folkloric elements like a rooster, a cat, and a masked spirit. The album title appears in bold red letters across the center.
