Best Record Store For Broadening Your Horizons

Maldonado's Record and Video Shop

"Mexican music is not just a name," says Henry Maldonado, with only the barest trace of irritation. "That's sort of like saying `English music.' It doesn't tell you anything about the music." But just go to Maldonado's store and you'll find out about conjunto, norteño, Tejano, international Hispanic music and much more. And if you're lucky, you'll get a discourse from Henry himself - witty, opiniated and totally dedicated to the music. By the way, the major names there are not the Texas Tornados or Tish Hinojosa - best sellers include Emilio Navarro & the Rio Band and Joe Lopez y Mas.
