The small images retain their original source files and use a browser-applied monochrome treatment.

Image published in Paulina Tamayo’s official Sinfónico concert gallery. Original image. Photographer and reproduction license were not stated in the retrieved source; permission has not been independently verified. Cropped and displayed with a warm monochrome raster.

Luis Vargas: Santo Domingo Blues

“Luis Vargas, bachatero.” Original photograph supplied by Michael Jones, Afropop Worldwide, for the October 8, 2026 edition of APWW #388. A photographer credit was not included with the supplied image; no open-license claim is made here.

The original photographic pixels are retained. An AI-assisted silhouette mask removes the background, followed by the same browser-applied monochrome treatment as the other chapters. The accompanying newspaper collage and Santo Domingo stamp are decorative illustrations, not archival documents.

Supplied photograph · Program notes and sources

Santo Domingo Blues film poster: publicity image from Glass Eye Pix’s official film page. Displayed separately from the radio episode artwork.

Luis Vargas: header performance photograph

Performance photograph published with Hoy’s coverage of “Mi trayectoria” at the Gran Arena del Cibao. The publisher provides a 2519 × 1370 source image. Photographer and reuse license are not identified in the retrieved page; the image is credited to its publishing source, not claimed as openly licensed. This later concert image does not depict the APWW #388 recording session.

The header photograph is cropped and horizontally mirrored for the composition, with an AI-assisted background-removal mask and browser-applied monochrome treatment. The episode itself retains the different Luis Vargas portrait supplied by Afropop Worldwide.

Each chapter opens with a credited source photograph printed as a tritone: black, the program’s own ink and a cream tint. The photographs are resized and responsively cropped, without silhouette masks. Concert images are visual companions and are not presented as photographs of the radio recording sessions.

Celso Piña: full-width performance interlude

Photograph by Tania Victoria / Secretaría de Cultura Ciudad de México, June 9, 2017. Source photograph · CC BY-SA 2.0. Resized and responsively cropped for the guide; the photographic adaptation is offered under the same license. This is a different exposure from the opening portrait.

La Bamba: chapter photograph

A musician in a straw hat with his guitar, credited to the Afropop Worldwide program archive, as on the La Bamba episode page. The letterbox bars are cropped away; the photograph is resized, responsively cropped and printed as a tritone in black, indigo and cream. It is a visual companion, not documentation of the program recording.

Carlos Vives: arena interlude

Original press photographs: DSCF6962.JPG (audience) and DSCF7190.JPG (mobile stage companion), both 7728 × 5152. The scene shows the Puerto Rico concert audience; it does not depict the archival radio recording. Resized and responsively cropped. Provided in the artist’s press-photo download; no open Creative Commons license is claimed.
