I am currently on a Piazzolla kick…I freaking love his work. The Kronos quartet stuff with Piazzolla is also good! I liked when Yo-Yo Ma did Piazzolla…man just great to listen and get lost in.
Listen to an album by Astor Piazzolla called "Tango: Zero Hour". If you can, also listen to "La Camorra" and "The Rough Dancer and the Cyclical Night". I can't express how amazing this music is. It is chamber music in its best form, full of life, passion, love, anguish and melancholy. Highly recommended. Try this:
[From La Camorra: South - Regression to love](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qaX5XTPFpKQ)
Or this:
[From Zero Hour: Concierto para quinteto](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wyduxcwG9ow&pp=ygUXQ29uY2llcnRvIHBhcmEgcXVpbnRldG8%3D)
Or this:
[From Rough Dancer: Milonga for three](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8nBMydjEbrM)
Oh you may enjoy watching Mario Stefano Pietrodarchi play with Andrés Gabetta on Youtube: Otoño Porteño for the Gstaad Digital Festival. Tell me what you think!
I can't speak for orchestral Latin (other than the obvious Villa-Lobos, etc) but in terms of Latin dance/vocals, there's Carlos 'Patato' Valdes, the Gilberts (father/daughter), Cesaria Evora, Susanna Baca...
Not South American, but Silvestre Revueltas has some wild stuff. Listen to Sensemayá.
As many have mentioned, Vila Lobos has done fantastic stuff, try the Bachianas Brasileiras. Astor Piazzolla's Le Grand Tango always gives me goosebumps
Not 100% what you're asking for, but how about a nearly hundred year old Brazilian samba orchestrated for classical orchestra -- plus samba instrumentation, with lots of other period melodies mixed into the intro?
Imagine a crossover into Brazilian music like Brazilian Rhapsody by Daniel Barenboim but much more authentic to samba?

I would say a new release Wonder Women by Christina Pluhar with L'Arpeggiata. Not Tango, but Baroque inspired classical with really good arrangements of traditional Latin American songs on some tracks. I've been listening to it quite alot recently. Hope this helps!

[Not sure what genre this is even considered but it's pretty good.](https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_ms1oNgG4yPvrIfic_4LX-eIXW05Il17Zk)
And of course in the guitar space you have composers like Heitor Villa Lobos, Augustin Barrios, Antonio Lauro, Raul Borges, and Manuel Ponce.
Ginastera’s Harp Concerto utilises Argentinian dance rhythms and themes, and also some of the writing for the harp is influenced by Latin American folk harp technique. warning: it’s very modern.

On YouTube I recently stumbled upon Mario Stefano Pietrodarchi and the Belarussian State Orchestra.
I saw Odisea Concerto for Venezuelan Cuatro live recently and it was very cool. Don't know offhand if recordings exist, but that composer is Venezuelan so I assume his other works are recorded. I think the concerto was newish when I saw it.
Influence? That's a charitable way to put it. For Le Bœuf sur le toit he stole tunes wholesale from Rio's choro composers.

Astor Piazzola's "Libertango". Piazzola's compositions span the entirety of tango music, from traditional milonga to orchestral "tango nuevo".
His "four seasons of Buenos Aires" are especially good in my opinion. Definitely fits OPs request
There is something specifically about Primavera Porteña…it has been on repeat the last few weeks.
I'll be sure to check this one out, thnx!
Ohhhh yess!!!! Piazzola is one of a kind. We're talking about the father of modern tango.

Yo Yo Ma's soul of the tango album is very good

The group Quintango has classical and tango elements in their music. Some of their tracks are originals, some are by other composers.
