New Releases Thru November 3, 2009

The current set of new releases include some interesting ones including an unexpected collaboration between Los Lobos' David Hidalgo, Taj Mahal and Los Cenzontles. Gilberto Santa Rosa is back with a compilation Christmas album (is it almost that time?) while Los Fabulosos Cadillacs, Joseph Fonseca and Rata Blanca drop new albums for your consideration.

I used the word 'consideration' purposefully. Even though the Latin Grammy Awards air tomorrow, all new albums after June 30,  2009 will be up for consideration for a Latin Grammy in 2010, the first one to grace a new decade.
