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.
Lara has collaborated on remixes for bands and friends such as Placebo, Gecko Turner, Perez Prado, Mazarin, Quantic Soul Orchestra, Gershon Kingsley, Irving Fields, Babasonicos, and Le Hammond Inferno.

Quem quer casar
Com a Dona Baratinha
Que tem pinta de modelo
E na pista é rainha
Quem quer casar
Com a Dona Baratinha
Que requebra com molejo
E não fala abobrinha
Quem quer casar
Com a Dona Baratinha
Que te leva com um beijo
Te esconde em sua casinha
Quem quer casar
Com a Dona Baratinha
Que tem fita no cabelo
E dinheiro na caixinha
Quem quer casar
Com a Dona Baratinha

The lyrics of the song "A Girl Like You" by Mexican Institute of Sound are quite simple, but they tell a story of a woman who is confident, fun-loving, and desirable. The repeated phrase "Bu Ti Tata Bu Ti To" does not have a direct translation, but it adds a catchy and rhythmic element to the song. The verses tell of a woman named Dona Baratinha, who is described as having the looks of a model, being a great dancer, and having a hidden house where she can take her lover. She also has money saved up, as evidenced by her "dinheiro na caixinha" or money in a box.
The song invites listeners to imagine who would want to marry a woman like Dona Baratinha, who is independent and doesn't conform to traditional societal norms. The chorus repeats the question "Quem quer casar com a Dona Baratinha?" or "Who wants to marry Dona Baratinha?" and asserts that only a confident and open-minded partner would be able to handle her. The lyrics celebrate a woman who is unapologetically herself and demands respect from anyone who wants to be with her. Overall, the song is a fun and empowering anthem for women who don't fit into a narrow mold of what society deems desirable.

Repetitive chorus with no discernible meaning
Quem quer casar
Who wants to marry
Com a Dona Baratinha
With Lady Little-Cheap
Que tem pinta de modelo
Who looks like a model
E na pista é rainha
And is queen of the dance floor
Que requebra com molejo
Who moves with grace
E não fala abobrinha
And doesn't talk nonsense
Que te leva com um beijo
Who takes you with a kiss
Te esconde em sua casinha
And hides you in her little house
Que tem fita no cabelo
Who has a ribbon in her hair
E dinheiro na caixinha
And money in her little box
Quer casar
Wants to marry
