## Description

Established in 1989, MR BONGO is a renowned brand that initially started as a small record shop located on Berwick Street in London. As pioneers, they were the first to introduce vinyl releases from independent hip hop labels like Def Jam, Rawkus, Nervous, and Big Beat outside of the USA. Additionally, they quickly became a leading proponent of classic Latin music, particularly Brazilian, outside of the Americas. Throughout the years, MR BONGO has relocated multiple times within Soho in London and expanded its reach, including opening a store in Shibuya, Japan. Their extensive recording roster boasts exceptional talents in genres like Brazilian, Latin, reggae, African, and Jazz. They have also ventured into world cinema, offering an impressive selection of carefully curated films by renowned directors. The brand additionally runs a publishing arm, creating and licensing music for third-party use. With 2019 marking their 30th anniversary, MR BONGO continues to delight music and cinema enthusiasts worldwide with their eclectic collections and upcoming special events.
