1. DF-N: The ca. 1957 anthologies of selections from the Música de los cultos collection published in the Smithsonian Folkways (2001a, 2001b, and 2003) included precious little of the two sections featuring the Havana tradition of Batá drumming. As a musical genre, the Havana Batá repertoire has been disseminated widely and studied closely over the last several decades. Consequently, the publication and dissemination of a full archival edition of these recordings is liable to have a particularly marked, if unpredictable impact on ritual practice, both inside and outside Cuba. cf.
