Default Oscar Alemán on a stamp

While researching my Amedialuz project I came across an Argentinian singer,
guitarist, dancer called Oscar Alemán who was briefly involved with Carlos
Gardel (backup guitar for Gardel's original Adios Muchachos recording). He
made his name, however, working with Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli
in the golden era of Jazz (and Swing, his "Whispering" is out of this
world). I was talking with a Reinhardt fan this evening (maniac, if you ask
me) and he tells me that he has seen somewhere a stamp with Alemán on it. I
have just gone through my entire Scott and got no hits, but I don't
completely trust my pdf text-searcher. I have also gone through a couple of
Alemán's biographies and there is no mention of him appearing on a stamp in
either. So I am asking the group if anyone has come across the name on a
stamp? If yes, I would love a scan. Thanks in advance.

G'day Tony,
scan care of the young ladies in the off list brigade
I had 2,332 Spanish stamps, not this one however.

for the Gibbons family SG3717

...and the best $1 I ever spent, from a car boot sale.

the guitar work is simply beautiful.

Joaquín Rodrigo, Spain, 40 pesetas, March 22, 2001. No scan, I'm afraid.

Yes, Mette loved Aranjuez, but her favorite Spanish music was Tárrega's Recuerdos de la Alhambra (a memorable visit
during her youth). I recall sending her a Tárrega CD but her Rodrigo was one of the first CDs she ever bought.
