World Music: Mexican Institute of Sound, "Escríbeme Pronto"
(Mexico) Hey who's the guy in the Devo hat? It's Mexican Institute of Sound's DJ and producer Camilo Lara. By day, Lara is the president of EMI Mexico and at night he is mastermind of M.I.S. Along with groups like Nortec Collective and Kinky, M.I.S. is part of a growing Mexican electronica movement, encouraging fusions of folk and more traditional music with modern sounds. Renowned for his collection of more than 45,000 vinyl albums, in 2005, he officially founded the M.I.S. project, relying on classic Mexican music samples ranging from the 1920s to the 1960s mixed with Esquivel vocal samples and modern scratches/beats.
"Escríbeme Pronto" the video, is pretty much a visual rendition of all of the above, conjuring up a kinetic collage of images from the 40's through the 70's.
