Rafael Lozano-Hemmer has written a "Brief Chronology of Technological Culture in Mexico"
mentioning Raúl Pavón Sarrelangue's (1928-2008) "Omnifón", a probably half-modular synth he built himself in 1964 in Mexico.
This article appears (positively absurdly) on Github, and is a feast to read:

appears on "Música Electroacústica Mexicana", a compilation from 1984, with a piece "Fantasía Cósmica". You may find that on #
Soulseek, if not anywhere else.
The following article
https://rupkatha.com/electroacoustic-music-mexico/ provides even more background, especially on electroacoustic music in Mexico.
If anyone is aware of any more released pieces composed/played with the Omnifón I'd be happy about a hint.
