Virus is an Argentine new wave music band founded in 1979, led by Federico Moura until his death on December 21, 1988, from AIDS-related complications. His brother Marcelo then became lead singer, until the band gave its final performance on September 29, 1990, in a support slot to David Bowie. Virus reunited in 1994 and has had some sporadic activity, without recovering its previous popularity. Their latest album, Caja Negra (2006) features live versions of their classics, together with 5 new studio tracks, with invited artists influenced by the band: Ale Sergi (Miranda!), Adrián Dárgelos (Babasónicos), Pity Álvarez (Intoxicados) and Ciro Pertusi.
Filmworks VIII: 1997 features two scores for film by John Zorn released on Zorn's own label, Tzadik Records, in 1998. It features the music that Zorn wrote and recorded for The Port of Last Resort (1998), a documentary directed by Joan Grossman and Paul Rosdy examining the experiences of Jewish refugees in Shanghai and Latin Boys Go to Hell (1997) which was directed by Ela Troyano.
Yo is the sixth studio album by Romanian singer Inna, released on 31 May 2019 by Global Records and Roc Nation. She commenced work on the record in 2016, and eventually decided for it to feature solely Spanish language material as inspired by a recent trip to Latin America. Inna has significantly contributed to the songwriting process of Yo and extensively collaborated with Romanian producer David Ciente on its songs. A self-described experimental and heavily gypsy music-influenced effort, Yo marks Inna's first time taking entire creative control over an album and acts as a departure from her past EDM releases. Lyrically, she often sings about the theme of love and presents several female characters seen from different perspectives as the album progresses.
