Buying music in Rio; Cd´s, Vinyl and instruments
Buying Music in Rio
Many people have come to me and asked where they can buy a guitar, a Pandeiro or some congas. So many people also wants to buy Cd´s with Brazilian music. I´ve come across quite a few vinyl freaks looking for those rare LP´s. Here I tried to put some useful info together, I hope it can be of use.Buying instruments in Rio de Janeiro
With a few exceptions the best stores are all in the City Center, from the Metro station Carioca (go to
Subway in Rio
for info on that) you have access to some excellent stores. They are concentrated along the streets R. da Carioca, R. da Constituição and R. 7 de setembro. Here are some of the stores: Musicware, R. do Ouvidor 130, Centro
Showpoint, R. dos Inválidos 18, Centro
Disconildo, R. Constituição 33, Centro
Musical Carioca, R. da Carioca 89, Centro
Knob, R. Marquês de Abrantes 177 Flamengo Buying Cd´s in Rio
Many people come to Rio de Janeiro and fall in love with the music they hear. It´s surprisingly hard to find good places for buying music in Rio though. In all guide books you can read about how the store Modern Sound on Barata Ribeiro 502 is the best place for music. Yes they have a big collection, but it´s expensive! I have put together a list where you can find cheaper CD´s and second hand: Musicale, Av. Ns. de Copacabana 1103, Copacabana also on R. Visconde de Pirajá 207 and 483 in Ipanema.

Buying vinyl is serious business, I´m well aware of that ever since I got to know Lee, an English guy pretty much supporting his stay here in Rio by buying LP´s and selling them on e-bay. So obviously if you have the knowledge you can make some bargains here. In the Shopping Siqueira Campos on R. Siqueira Campos 143 in Copacabana you have a few second hand stores where you can dig in. In the stores below you wouldn´t be able to do the same since they know their stuff. Baratos da Ribeiro, R. Barata Ribeiro 354, Copacabana
Musicale, Av. Ns. de Copacabana 1103, Copacabana
