Camilo Lara aka Mexican Institute of Sound is celebrating twenty years of musical career with Algo – Ritmo 2004 – 2024.
For Camilo Lara, 2004 marked the beginning of a project that would change his life. Mexican Institute of Sound is a celebration, a tribute to the sounds that have forged a whole country. Camilo Lara’s soundtrack experiment arrived and, from the first moment it was heard, it caused an impact. Songs that sounded fresh and catchy but had that aura of a Mexico that was already gone, of cities, colors, people, flavors, and dances that we did not live, but felt as ours. The magic of a project like this is that it connects with that nostalgic part we all have.
Mexican Institute of Sound is simply, Camilo Lara; the mother project of this México City native that from time to time is set aside -but never forgotten- to experiment with other proposals. The deejay and producer known for projects like Mexrrisey (Mexico + Morrisey) has been practicing his personal mix of funk, cumbia, and electronica since 2004 under the initials of M.I.S.
It is not easy to summarize 20 years of career, but it is even more difficult to do it for a project like M.I.S. His work has earned him 1 Grammy and 4 Latin Grammy nominations, and he has produced artists ranging from Los Angeles Azules (achieving the best-selling Mexican album of the last 25 years, 8 times diamond disc), Lila Downs, Norah Jones and Band of Horses. He has remixed Beck, the Beastie Boys, Interpol, Metallica, Run the Jewels, among others.
