Quartin LP RSQ 1
This album has been presented here some one and a half years ago. The link has recently expired, but I have received it once more from
Pedro & 300discos.
Instead of writing a new post, I have brought forward the previous and it goes like this:
About

On the other hand, you will not find an explicit statement about who is singing, although, as far as the male voice is concerned, it is clear that it must be
José Mauro. For the female voice occasionally featured on some tracks, my guess is that it is probably
Ana Maria Bahiana who is also suspected of being the girl standing next to
José Mauro on the front cover photograph.
As expected you will find a meaningless text, which is leading to the album:

COMMENTS AND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION by
Nilton Antonio Rodreigues Maia:
Concerning the music authors,
José Mauro (melodies) and
Ana Maria Bahiana (lyrics):
José has rare references. In contrast,
Ana Maria is one of our best music journalists:
ANA MARIA BAHIANA (Ana Maria Pereira Bahiana) was born in 1950, in Rio de Janeiro. She lives in Los Angeles (USA).
She is a journalist and writer. Her specialities are Cinema and Popular Music. She has a career of more than 30 years and she wrote six books about Culture and Popular Music.
Presently, she works as Cinema reviewer of “Just Seen It” program (PBS television network) and has a UOL blog about Culture.

About the photo in the cover, I believe you are right.
I have confirmed in the blog
SOUL ART that the singer is
José Mauro.
But the female voice remains a
mystery. Although
Ana Maria isn't a singer, perhaps she could be the female voice in LP.
I'll try to contact her to clarify this point.
In the post comments, I had the good surprise to know
José Mauro was alive at that date- 4/30/2014 - and living in Rio de Janeiro. The comment was posted by
José Mauro's brother named
Marcelo.
CONFIRMATION by
Frank-Oliver:
I asked
Ana Maria Bahiana over
Facebook and she answered the following:
"I am the girl singer.
I am also the lyricist on all tracks, the author
of the liner notes and the Person behind him on the cover.
Jose Mauro is
very much alive, although in so health and living in Rio de Janeiro."
