Note: Manuel Santo is a pseudonym for Tito Rivera that appears originally on (French) America Records releases but also on successors Musidisc, Visadisc, and sometimes on other reissues. See for instance [url=https://www.discogs.com/Tito-Rivera-Donde-Estabas-Tu/release/13744117]here[/url], [url=https://www.discogs.com/Jack-Costanzo-And-His-Orchestra-Tito-Rivera-And-His-Cuban-Orchestra-Viva-El-Cha-Cha-Cha/master/983542]there[/url] and [url=https://www.discogs.com/Jack-Costanzo-Tito-Rivera-Cha-Cha-Cha-Mambo-Bol%C3%A9ro-Rumba/release/1857503]there.[/url] Manuel Santo was also used as a pseudonym for Jack Costanzo on those releases. Please add correct credit Tito Rivera (or Jack Costanzo) in this case, according to [g1.7.2]. Alias is not appropriate, pseudonym was not Rivera (or Costanzo) choice.
