The man who is the Mexican Institute of Sound, Camilo Lara is one of an increasingly rare breed: a major music business executive who is also a passionate music fan. Lara, who has held top positions at Mexican EMI, Virgin and Warner Music, formed his own independent label in 2001. The owner of a famously enormous record collection he made mixes for fun that started to gather serious attention until the tongue-in-cheek collision of mariachi, punk and disco with cumbia, hip-hop, and rock that surfaced on the 2009 album Soy Sauce, made him a star of Mexico City's alternative scene. The MIS live show, with his wild and witty MCing augmented by an explosive rhythm section, has since performed at major US festivals like Coachella and Lollapalooza and lit up clubs from Tokyo to Barcelona.
