The Mexican Institute of Sound is a celebration. A tribute to the sounds that have shaped an entire country. Camilo Lara’s sonic experiment arrived, and from the very first moment it was heard, it made an impact. Songs that felt fresh and catchy, yet carried the aura of a Mexico that had already faded—of cities, colors, people, flavors, and dances we never lived, but somehow feel as our own. The magic of a project like this lies in how it connects with that nostalgic part we all have.

MERIDIAN BROTHERS is a neo-tropicalista group from Bogotá, Colombia, founded in 1998 by composer and multi-instrumentalist Eblis Álvarez as an experimental, cassette-based project. Since 2007, it has evolved into a full live band featuring a rotating lineup of musicians.
