Mestre Joao Pequeno


This is an LP rip of an album
I bought in 1989 in
Salvador.To fill up the disc I also
did put Mestre Pastinhas album on it,
therefore his name appears on the cover.
Here you have the original record,
 with tracks 1-5 by Mestre Joao Grande,
and tracks 6-9 by Mestre Joao Pequeno.
