I know that this composer is PD in Canada but also in Taiwan, but I need to be shure about uploading this piece, that I estimate was composed and first published published near 1930-40.
The only 3 scores that I have access to are from ca.1932 and the other 2, ca.1960.
The first one (http://sipce.patrimoniocultural.gob.ec: ... 610368.jpg Cover) was apparently published in before 1932 as this Library supports this affirmation: http://catalogo.bibliotecamunicipalguay ... mber=37545 ; Search "Gotas de ajenjo" and you'll see it is included in this colection of scores.
There's another score located here: https://www.bibliotecadigitaldebogota.g ... s/3703857/ published by Casa Amarilla of Chile, but it tells that it is from 1960, what elegible is that?
There's the other one that is manuscript that is also dated in the library as being written in 1960. Link is here: https://www.bibliotecadigitaldebogota.g ... s/3703856/
Probably no need to mention that the author of the lyrics is in PD

The composer is only PD-Taiwan (remember any who died 1971 AND BEFORE THIS YEAR is PD Canada, not just PD Taiwan) if he died in 1972.
If your lacking information on publication dates and can REASONABLY assume the work had proof of going public in some form before 1976, that is all we need. I was just told recently even contributors who died 1971 and before, unpublished works can be uploaded onto the Main Server/Canadian Server BUT you need to concrete context and rough proof (and I stress context) the works probably have gone public during the person's lifetime (or before 1976) and that can be due, if there is a lack of information, based on the style of engraving that was printed in that era as well or other information on the score leading towards clues the work was definitely without dates (so investigations should be done on these editions on contributors from this time period) when uploading onto the Canadian Server (but it is the same for Taiwan). But you must always take caution when uploading unpublished works of contributors who died after 1948 as I have mentioned to you many times in the past, please be certain to not overlook this info when uploading works from this time range. Otherwise, the best advice is to just not upload it and skip it for now if the needed info is lacking.
