THE 9 RECORD SHOPS
Bogotá keeps South America's most under-covered dig.
Bogotá's record scene runs through La Candelaria and Chapinero. Bunker Discos, Discos San Jorge, Retrovinilo and Vinilo Records anchor a compact map of shops trading heavily in Colombian salsa, cumbia, vallenato and Andean folklore.
The local pressing history (Discos Fuentes still active) means second-hand stock is unusually deep for a scene of this size, and prices are Colombian — a Latin crate at fair value. The nightclub culture from Salsa clubs to underground venues handles the evenings.
