	earthcds - Religious Music of Palo Monte — A Cajón Ceremony: Notes
		Palo Monte — otherwise simply referred to as "Palo" — is the Spanish term for the religious practice originally of the "Congos", descendants of the various tribes that had been deported from the regions of Central Africa (Congo, Zaire, Angola, and Mozambique) to be sold as slaves in Cuba.
		Palo is a magical religion, because it goes back to an archaic magical worldview that implies the sensation of a collective or even cosmic soul and the interconnection of seemingly independent phenomena and in fact anything that exists.
		Palo Monte is an animistic religion, because it is based on the notion that all things in nature are animated and have a soul and a specific power on their own, a power that can be put to use by the knowledgeable.
