AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This 45 rpm vinyl record features a brightly illustrated cover with a decidedly vintage aesthetic, typical of musical productions from the 1950s-60s. The visible side shows the cover of the record titled "4 Rumbas", released by the Ducretet Thomson label, reference 460 V 210. The illustration features a stylized dancer, wearing a stage costume adorned with pink, yellow, white, and black geometric patterns, evoking the festive and colorful atmosphere of Latin music. The graphics are signed with a retro graphic style, with dynamic shapes and contrasting colors.

The main title "4 Rumbas" is inscribed in large dotted white letters, accompanied by the tracklist: "Amapola, Mama Ines, Le Marchand de Cacahuètes, Rumba Tambah". These titles are clearly legible on the cover. In the bottom right, the orchestra and artist are mentioned: "by Pépé Luiz and his Latin American orchestra", indicating a production specializing in Latin American-inspired music.

The cover also displays the distinctive black and white Ducretet Thomson logo, positioned at the bottom center, as well as the format mention "45 t. – DP – Medium". All the graphic and typographic elements, as well as the illustration style, are characteristic of vinyl records produced in France in the mid-20th century, a period marked by a strong influence of exotic rhythms in popular music.

The record presented here is offered with its original cover. The colors remain well contrasted despite some visible signs of wear on the edges and corners, typical of an old record that has spanned decades. No details of the back are visible in the photo, so the description focuses exclusively on the front.
