@vertigospumante The picture here is a cover of an album published by EMI in Poland. It was the first album from a pretty long series. There was "best samba ever", best classics, best movie, love songs, classics, rock ballad and more.

I'm Black, I have always and always will listen to jazz, I have a respectable job and a decent paycheck, and I have a taste for beautiful art, regardless of the artists' ethnicity. I suppose logic dictates that I'm a minority among minorities. :-p
that said, the "smooth jazz" genre often considered "not real jazz" by many. still, it's hard to tell if that was exactly what went through the illustrator's mind.
@gremz01d without discussing the history of whites appropriating aspects of other cultures as a matter of course for hundreds of years; or its continual socioeconomic impact on EVERYONE; or the subsequent effects on mass media and marketing methods; or how interesting it is to see that the words of ONE Aboriginal artist can be thrown back into the cycle and applied as a blanket statement about ALL "black" consumers and "black" art, including the music of a contemporary African American singer...

@pdasaro I think the ambiguity over their ethnicity is part of the point. Who can tell where they're from? Does it matter? No.
