MEXICAN INSTITUTE OF SOUND

“Camilo (Lara) is a true musical connoisseur who knows all sorts of bizarre tricks,” Mike D of the Beastie Boys once said of the founder of M.I.S., whose pieces have been heard on series such as Ugly Betty, Californication and NCIS: Los Angeles. A veritable “musical piñata of Mexican folk and spicy global sounds” (The New York Times, 2009), the made-in-M.I.S. sound mixes classics of cumbia and chachacha with vocal samples and modern scratches.
