Hello,
I will be in LA next week and I am looking for international music shopping recommendations. I would love to find a good place to buy the fruit of LA's active Persian pop music scene. I would love to find a place with an enormous Latin selection. I would love to find a place to buy South Indian film soundtracks, Garifuna Punta Rock, Arabic music, Angolan music, Brazilian music, Jamaican music, etc. I realize that different ethnic communities are going to have their own shopping hubs, and I'm looking for any pointers as to where to find them.
I'd also be interested in any pointers leading me to good international DJs, clubs, and dance nights in LA as well.
Thank you all so much in advance for any assistance you can provide,
IK

I just asked my fiance who is a Dj and used to live in LA. He reckons Amoeba on Sunset and Cahuenga for such a variety of ethnic music under one roof. And as far as clubs and gigs

Have fun.... -

This is what I've been told
Shop for Persian Music at Music Box
www.musicboxla.com/ourlocation.html
Club La Zeez in Little Armenia for the Middle Eastern/Mediterranean nightclub experience
www.lazeez.freehosting.net/
Also check out the calendar of the Levantine Cultural Center for going ons in the artistic community
levantinecenter.org/pages/calendar.html
Artesia just outside of LA for Indian music
Wish I could go music shopping with you on this trip! Or at least get to see your sonik treasure trove when y'all get back ;) -
