I'm doing a research (quasi dissertation) for a class, and would need specific information on latin american classical composers, especially of those that were active during the 19th and 20th century.
Furthermore Miguel Ficher´s "Latin American Classical Composers: A Biographical Dictionary" (2003) provides basic informations on a broad scale.
Check this: Behague, Gerard. Music in LAtin America: an Introduction.

Marion Verhaalen has a publication about our Brazilian composer M. Camargo Guarnieri, an important figure of the nationalist school of composition. I also have shared some articles here about him and VIlla-Lobos.
There has been a recent interest among so-called "Early Music" performers in post colonial music in Latin America and in fact there are a number of recordings as a result. Might I suggest if you are studying this period a bit of independent musical analysis would be appropriate. I offer the following recordings as a point of departure:
- Jerusalem: Matins for the Virgin of Guadalupe, 1764
Ignacio Jerusalem y Stella (Performer), Joseph Jennings (Performer), Chanticleer (Performer)
- Bolivian Baroque Hybrid SACD - DSD, Import, Florilegium Ens (Artist)
- Bolivian Baroque Vol. 2 [Hybrid SACD] Hybrid SACD - DSD, Import
Ashley Solomon (Artist)
- Baroque Mexico 2, I. Jerusalem Y Stella (Artist), Mexico Barroco Puebla IV, San Juan Jose De (Artist)
- Bolivian Baroque, Vol. 3 Hybrid SACD - DSD, Import
Florilegium (Artist), Arakaendar Bolivia Choir (Artist), James Johnstone (Artist), De Chavarria (Composer), Zipoli (Composer), Velasco (Composer), de Araujo (Composer), Casseda (Composer), Duron (Composer), Anonymous (Composer), Ashley Solomon (Conductor)
- Baroque Mexico Puebla 5, Mexico Barroco-Puebla (Artist)
- Baroque Mexico Puebla 8, Mexico Barroco-Puebla (Artist)
- Venetian Composers in Guatemala & Bolivia Hybrid SACD - DSD
Galuppi (Artist), Facco (Artist) Format: Audio CD
- Moon Sun & All Things Import, Ex Cathedra & Jeffrey Skidmore (Artist)
- New World Symphonies Import, Jeffrey Skidmore (Artist), Ex Cathedra (Artist)

Understand that for performers of so-called "early music" is the most modern music around.
