Here are this week's notable new releases.
1. Forever Tango (DVD)
In the last year, I've received innumerable requests from readers who would like to be able to watch a performance of Forever Tango, the popular tango extravaganza from Luis Bravo. Well, here it is, filmed live at the Teatro Coliseo Podesta in La Plata, Argentina.
2. Kumbia AllStarz - Planeta Kumbia
The eagerly awaited new Kumbia AllStarz album is here and fans of lead singer PeeWee should know that this may be his last performance with the AllStarz (at least full time); the popular teen idol will be moving on to a solo career.
3. Senor Flavio - Supersaund 2012

Senor Flavio is a founding member of Argentina's legendary rock band, Los Fabulosos Cadillacs. Supersaund 2012 finds Senor Flavio delivering an album full of the band's signature reggae/ska, except here's it is mixed with garage rock, psycobilly and punk.
4. Los Tigres del Norte - Raices
The ever-popular and prolific Los Tigres del Norte have 2 albums scheduled for release this month. Raices drops today and is somewhat of a departure from their normal corridos describing contemporary immigrant life. Raices gives a nod to culturally important songs from Mexican folkloric tradition. In fact, the album's first single, "Rumbo al Sur" is an unexpected ranchera.Look for the second album, the soundtrack from the upcoming feature film Under the Same Moon (La Misma Luna) to release March 19th.
