</table>1. You mention Giraldo and Adriano also played and sang on the recordings released on the "El Yambu de los Barrios" CD by Alberto Zayas. Could they be pictured on the CD cover or in that great picture on the back plate of this cd? Or also on the original LP cover?
</table>2. Also, on which tracks on the Zayas CD can we hear Adriano? Anywhere besides coro? I always thought the only two main voices on those recordings were Carlos Embales and Roberto Maza.
</table>3. Finally, the "coda" at the end of your article was a little hard for me to follow. Have any of these Afro Tambores Batá recordings been released on CD?
