MEXICAN INSTITUTE OF SOUND’S (MIS) SOPHOMORE ALBUM “PIÑATA” SET FOR RELEASE ON JULY 24TH
The Follow-Up to the Successful 2006 Debut “Méjico Máxico” Once Again Showcases MIS’ Talent for the Unexpected:
An Infectious Pastiche of Electronica, Dub, Cha Cha, Spoken Word and Other Musical Surprises
MIS Announces West Coast Dates with Reggae Legend Lee Scratch Perry, as Well as Free LA Concert at the Getty Center on July 28th
“El Microfono” Slated as the First Single; Track Will Also
Be Featured on Upcoming EA Games release ‘FIFA 2008’; MIS’ Music Was Also Recently Featured on ABC’s Hit Sitcom ‘Ugly Betty’
“Mexico City office worker and beat painter Camilo Lara mixes traditional Latin music, including Colombian cumbia and Cuban Chacha, into his dubby electronics bubblescapes…..MIS goes for a patio-friendly, Esquivel-style, cocktail-party vibe.
Jams for people whose drink of choice is the mangopolitan.” -SPIN
“MIS finds somber beauty in the most bustling of places, primarily guided by the simplicity of piano samples looking for a way to fit in amongst turntable scratches, bellowing brass and the occasional laser. Expansion and discovery are always the key to redefinition and MIS is looking like quite the explorer of familiar lands.” -URB
“A remarkable collage of electronica, spoken word, and old-school samples that serves as a reminder that Mexico's musical tradition is much richer than mere mariachi…..Mexican Institute of Sound is not only able to give order to disparate ingredients, it does so with taste, sophistication and a good amount of fun.”
-ASSOCIATED PRESS
Following the success of last year’s Mexican Institute of Sound (MIS) debut ‘Méjico Máxico’, MIS is back with “Piñata” (July 24th - Nacional Records), an infectious pastiche of electronica, dub, cha cha cha, cumbia, spoken word and other musical treats waiting to burst out of its paper maché shell. The new album features a number of guests including members of Tom Tom Club, Fantastic Plastic Machine, and Babasonicos. In the past year, MIS has received widespread acclaim from outlets like Spin, NY Times, and Urb, as well as radio support from such tastemakers as KCRW (Los Angeles), Indie 103 (Los Angeles), KEXP (Seattle) and KUT (Austin). MIS’ music has also been featured in other projects including a recent episode of ABC’s hit sitcom “Ugly Betty”, Dos Equis’ national advertising campaign, multiple soundtracks, and the upcoming EA Games release ‘FIFA 2008.’
Camilo Lara is the one-man dynamo behind Mexican Institute of Sound. Hailing from the sprawling metropolis that is Mexico City, Lara channels his inner rockstar, while holding down a day job as head of a major label. Like a musical superhero, Lara steps out of his executive alter ego, gets involved with the underground musica movement and begins his musical mission delivering electronic masterpieces with only the help of his computer, his nurturing imagination, and his awesome collection of vinyl.
Lara’s genius is not his ability to hide behind a computer screen or immerse himself in the world of modern technology (in which he’s admittedly quite a clumsy participant), but rather lies in his ability to carefully select and blend diverse musical references that will surprise and delight even the most discriminating listener. Camilo Lara has distinguished himself as a musical trendsetter among his circle of friends with his annual Christmas compilation of the year’s best tracks and unreleased MIS tracks, which has fast become a sought-after collector’s item. This hobby led Lara to collaborate on remixes under the moniker of Mexican Institute of Sound for bands and friends like Placebo, Le Hammond Inferno, Gecko Turner, and Babasónicos.
Piñata continues the vision established by MIS’ debut album, Méjico Máxico, as a carefully constructed collage of musical influences that combine to reflect Lara’s unique impression of life in bustling Mexico City.
Upcoming MIS Tour Dates
July 27th –Anaheim, CA – House of Blues (w/Lee Scratch Perry)
July 28th – Los Angeles, CA – The Getty Center
July 29th – San Diego, CA – House of Blues (w/Lee Scratch Perry)

ENANITOS VERDES
 Pescado Original (Universal Music Latino)
Packed with strong intensity and with lyrics on social issues, this
Argentine trio returns with their new album, which has already
premiered their single, "Mariposa". This entertaining song absolutely
portrays what the album is all about. Other wonderful songs are just as
influential, such as "Sola", which happens to be my personal favorite,
and "Noche Cualquiera", unleashing an amazing acoustical arrangement.
*Interesting Note* - The cover was designed by an adoring fan who
offered to create the artwork. This new record definitely outshines the
sound of their prior albums. I highly recommend it! |

ENANITOS VERDES
Pescado Original (Universal Music Latino)
Con un sonido más denso y letras con mayor contenido social, el trío
argentino regresa con su nueva placa del que ya se escucha el primer
single “Mariposas”; una canción divertida que muestra de lo que está
hecho el álbum, aunque hay otros temas importantes como “Sola” (mi
favorita), y “Noche cualquiera”, en donde destacan los arreglos de
cuerdas. Otra peculiaridad de éste, es la tapa del álbum que fue
diseñada por un fanático de la agrupación que se ofreció a realizarla.
Este disco supera al anterior en sonido, se los recomiendo.

HUECO (Warner Music Latina)
 Hueco's first CD is a compilation of thoughts and inspirations
collected during his travels while out and about in Havana, Mexico
City, Miami, Sao Paulo and Los Angeles. These feelings have been
captured and intertwined with his own Spanish roots resulting in a
Mestizo musical mix as never heard before. A mix combining the beats of
Rumba, Reggaeton, Tango, Cuban Tumaos, Rock, Mambo, Regional Mexican
music, Ska, Hip-Hop, only to be belted out by a powerhouse voice.
The lyrics go into your conscious and subconscious, then brings out
feelings of desire when hearing "Rumbaton pa mi Guerrera", "Tacones
Baratos", while touching on issues such as domestic violence when
hearing "Paloma Sigue Llorando", it chills you to the bone. |

HUECO (Warner Music Latina)
Este primer disco de Hueco es el resumen de las influencias que
recopiló en sus viajes por La Habana, México D.F., Miami, Sao Paulo,
Los Ángeles… para combinarlas con sus raíces españolas, el resultado:
un mestizaje de estilos musicales que nadie ha combinado antes como la
rumba, reggaetón, tango arrabalero, tumbaos cubanos, rock, mambo,
regional mexicana, ska, hip hop, todo esto aunado a una poderosa e
insinuante voz hace que las letras que van desde el deseo “Rumbatón pa’
mi guerrera”, “Tacones baratos”, hasta la violencia doméstica “Paloma
sigue llorando”, llegan hasta los huesos | |

CHELO
 60 Degrees (Sony / BMG)
When you thought you've heard it all, along comes CHELO, one of
Song/BMG's debuting singers to blow you away and revolutionize the
world with "CHA CHA" the first single. Of the 13 songs in the albums
repertoire, I'd stick with all 13. It's as easy as that. Every song
brings a pleasant surprise, "Yummy" is sexy and suggestive, "U Got Me"
has a "Prince" sound to it that is intoxicating and "Fantasy" a dance
mix that will definitely be a favorite in the gay nightclubs..
CHELO's incomparable voice brings true quality to the record, and simply put…it is a fantastic production! |

CHELO
60 Degrees (Sony / BMG)
Cuando piensas que lo has escuchado todo, llega CHELO, uno de los
cantantes salidos de la nueva horneada de Sony/BMG a volarme los
sentidos y a revolucionar al mercado mundial con su primer single “Cha
Cha”. De los 13 temas que componen la placa, yo me quedaría con las 13.
Así de sencillo. Cada rola te sorprenderá, “Yummy” es sexy y sugerente,
“U Got Me” tiene un sonido a la “Prince” que te embriagará, y la
bailable “Fantasy”, será la favorita de los antros gay.
La voz prodigiosa de CHELO ofrece verdad y buena calidad, además, ¡la producción es excelente! | |

Red Hot & Latin Redux (Nacional Records)
 In celebration of the 10th Anniversary of Red Hot & Latin, Nacional
Records offers a new compilation of the most innovated alternative
talent out there in most recent times. From the tracks found, those
that have most brought out my emotions and surprise are ³Sister
Twisted² from Kinky, the intelligent fusion between David Byrne/Café
Tacuba in ³Yolanda Niguas² and ³Cosas Que me Ayudan a Olvidar² by
Andrés Calamaro. However, the most important statement made from this
project is that all proceeds from the sales of the CD will be donated
to the Red Hot Organization, who continues to fight and work hard
against AIDS in our latino communities, here in the United States and
in Latin America. |
