Does anyone know if the title of La Plata Cantata should be read as (La Plata) Cantata, as in a place name like La Plata, Argentina or La Plata, Maryland, or is it La (Plata Cantata), "the silver cantata"? As in, know what the author had in mind or if it is clear from context if you read the poems?

(It makes a difference on whether the La should be skipped as non-filing. "Los Angeles" files under L, not A, because the definite article is an integral part of a name; similar principle here.)
