"Oba-Oba dancers from Oswaldo Sargentelli's night-club in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil" wearing 10 inch heels and not much else. Sargentelli, the famed "sambista," brought mulatto dancers to the world's attention in the late 1960s. Here Pan Am forgoes traditional travel images in favor of a more purient advertising strategy.
