The commercial release listing for Havana and Matanzas, Cuba, ca. 1957: Bata, Bembe, and Palo Songs from the Historic Recordings of Lydia Cabrera and Josefina Tarafa, a twenty-eight track compilation Smithsonian Folkways Recordings released in 2003 under catalog number SFW40434. Consulted directly on two independent platforms, Spotify and Proper Music, which return a matching title, label, release year and track count. Proper Music's own description states the collection documents both Yoruba-derived orisha songs and songs "reflected in the Kongo-Angolan derived material," the register associated with Palo.

Assessment
Reliability Tier
3
Tier three: a commercial platform release listing rather than independently reviewed scholarship, corroborated by fetching a second independent platform, Proper Music, which returns a matching title, label, release year and track count and adds a description naming the Kongo-Angolan derived material directly. Treated only as a primary documentary record of the release's own existence and credits, not as interpretive scholarship, which is why the entity below does not assert a specific Palo rama.
