| + | A world of music awaits adventurous shoppers at ethnic markets<br><br>OLIVIA BUCKS/THE OREGONIANIndian Spice: The Vancouver business sounds like a giant spice rack but in fact stocks a number of Indian CDs,air jordan homme, including the crates of Bollywood and bhangra that DJ Anjali, aka Anjali Hursh (right), and The Incredible Kid, aka Stephen Strausbaugh,Louboutin pas cher homme, sift through.<br><br>You've seen these stores: Small shops tucked away in unlikely spots, maybe in a strip mall or out in the burbs. Their names sometimes are utterly bland, sometimes curiously intriguing,jordan basket, neither instance imparting much information to those not in the know.<br><br>As immigration and migration have changed Portland's demographics, shops serving specific ethnic communities have dotted the metro landscape. From 2000 to 2006, for example, the area's Latino population rose from about 6.6 percent of the city's population to almost 9 percent. With that influx of people has come a commercial and artistic influx. Sure, those shops sell comfort foods from the old country, but many of them often also sell music, a cultural touchstone for the homesick.<br><br>Since these markets tend to cater to their own communities, they can be unknown to people of different ethnic backgrounds. That's a pity because many of these stores carry musical gems difficult even impossible to find elsewhere. Here is a guide to a few of those shops to help internationalize your CD rack.<br><br>This suburban strip mall is dominated by discounters TJ Maxx and Marshalls, but this European store, focusing on Russian goods, has a steady stream of customers. A rack at the back past the cakes, tea sets, candy and a deli counter boasts a range of Russian music, from CDs with club glam covers to more traditional offerings. There's a pretty decent selection, and the staff is friendly about helping non Russian speakers understand some of what they're looking at.<br><br>Bonus: The marble halvah a confection popular throughout the Middle East and parts of Asia is light and sweet. The thread of chocolate just makes it that much more addictive,nike tn requin pas cher.<br><br>The Uwajimaya grocery store in Beaverton holds a lot more than groceries, including this Japanese bookstore that also offers a solid selection of music, including lots of Japanese pop and rock. The music machine in Japan pumps out new singers and performers constantly (J pop and J rock chew up arguably more idols than even the United States), so there's always new music to check out. The CDs are a little pricier than in some other ethnic markets, but since there don't appear to be any bootlegs, that makes sense.<br><br>Bonus: More than we could possibly list, from the tons of manga comic books in Kinokuniya itself to all the tasty foods in Uwajimaya.<br><br>The name suggests that this store stocks only culinary ingredients, when that's far from the case. There's also an extensive selection (by Portland standards) of Bollywood and bhangra CDs. Some are licensed,tn pas cher france, some are bootlegs, but almost all are otherwise difficult to find in the metro area. Ask the staff if you can go behind the counter to pick through the CD crates.<br><br>Bonus: The scented soaps contain no animal ingredients and make great stocking stuffers for vegans on your holiday lists. Or try the Extra Hot Hot Mix,sac vanessa bruno lin, an actually not that hot mix of fried chickpeas,nike air max womens, lentils, mung beans and more.<br><br>This Latino market doesn't live up to its name in terms of groceries, as the market itself is relatively small. But the CD collection is extensive, with everything from ultra commercial artists such as Jennifer Lopez to harder to find recordings. Staffers are helpful, though often busy, so it helps to have an idea of what you want, at least in terms of genre: Cumbia? Rock? Tejano? The Latin umbrella is a big one, so a few minutes of Internet searching ahead of time can make this stop easier to negotiate.<br><br>Bonus: Excellent flan, just like Grandma (well,air jordan pas cher homme, my grandma, at least) used to make. Or, if you're headed to a party, pick up one of the festive pinatas dangling from the ceiling.<br><br>If this grocer's name is unhelpful,escarpin Louboutin pas cher, the staff inside are the exact opposite. Though their selection of Middle Eastern music isn't particularly large, it's big enough to encompass everyone from the legendary Egyptian singer Om Kolthoum to the contemporary collection "Now That's What I Call Arabia 11." Both are good starters for newbies, though in different ways. Ask for pointers if you're not sure what you might like best.<br><br>Bonus: Pick up some nazook, a sweet Armenian pastry that's great for breakfast (we know that because it says so on the package . and because we ate a ton).<br><br>This is perhaps the least surprising store on this list because it's inside the Fubonn shopping center, which bills itself as the largest Asian shopping center in Oregon. This store stocks a dizzying array of Vietnamese and Chinese music. Don't expect much English to be spoken; the store simply isn't set up for shoppers from outside those ethnic communities. The staff can offer some help,air max pas cher, but asking for recommendations is probably pushing your luck.<br><br>Bonus: Head further into the mall to Serenity Art Inc., where you can pick up fragrant fresh tea. If you're feeling frugal, you can pick up a large bag of chrysanthemum tea for $3.95. If you're feeling splurgy,chaussure louboutin femme, a golden chrysanthemum tea sells for $60 a pound, though it's so light that a few dollars will get you enough for several steaming cups.<br><br>Portland African American Leadership Forum tries to find voice,nike tn, place, amid Trader Joe's controversyPortland Trail Blazers vs Indiana Pacers (live updates)Game thread: Portland Winterhawks at Tri City AmericansGame thread: Everett Silvertips at Portland Winterhawks.相关的主题文章： | ||
