Take the A train to Nostrand Ave for these two fine stores selling Soca and Calypso. Both are also record labels and stock whatever's new from Trinidad. Conveniently located near Ali's Roti Hut.
B's Enterprises Inc.
1285 Fulton Street
Charlie's
1273 Fulton Street
(718) 783-8336
B's and Charlie's are right next to each other, and are record labels as well. The latest Caribbean hits, mostly from Trinidad, and mostly dancable Soco. Both look about the same and pretty much have the same stuff.
Coxson's Music City
3135 Fulton Street
(718) 277-4166
For a trip seemingly as long as a flight to Jamaica, take the J Train out to Norwood Ave. to the legendary Coxson's Music City. Run by Clement Coxson Dodd, it was his Studio One Label that introduced Ska and launched Bob Marley and a good many 70's Reggae stars. Horrible pressings, terrific music.
