    Hear Lila Downs' new Peruvian cumbia classic on this week's <em>Alt.Latino</em> music roundup.

    This week, the Latin music world is quaking! Bachata band Aventura reemerge from the shadows with their first song in 10 years, Jennifer Lopez duets with French Montana and Lila Downs releases a fresh Peruvian cumbia classic. You can also hear the follow-up to Anitta's trilingual EP Solo and revisit Ms Nina and Tomasa del Real's song with a recent music video.

    As always, as part of a series of NPR Music's favorite Latin songs, we created a Spotify playlist to accompany the songs we write about. Read and listen to the latest on Alt.Latino below.

    Aventura, "Inmortal"

    From the is a celebration of bachata. But the biggest draw to the album is that — after it with an artful nude and then it as an April Fools joke — delivers the first new Aventura song in 10 years since the band's last album in 2009. Far be it from us to be mad about the runaround, though. If there was any uncertainty about the utter madness Aventura inspires in its fans, Romeo settled it with this tease. In the video, Romeo is a lab creature under study, kept apart from the woman he loves by the scientists studying him. (The drama on her face throughout it is us when Romeo told us Aventura was back, then not back, then back.)
