Outside of
the World music sections of a couple of the biggest outlets downtown,
it can be a challenge to locate particular African CDs and videos.
The best place to buy them is is one of the many African community
shops. These stores have CDs and videos available to purchase
and other products and services from Africa. Many can give information
on artists and recordings and recommend particular CDs or videos.
This is only
a sampling of African music shops and we welcome new submissions.
