I don't have any specific adressesses or stores, but my guess would be that
New York definitely has specialized Brazilian stores , given its large
latin population.

Yeah! Although only for the past few months, so I'm just scratching the
surface of The Latin Treasure (TM applied for *grin*).
One of the must-haves IMO is the double CD 'Nu Yorica: Culture Clash in New
York City', subtitled 'Experiments in Latin music 1970-1977'
Even though these tracks are 20+ years old, these guys can teach today's
artists a thing or two about funkiness and building a groove! Some names:
Eddie Palmieri, Joe Bataan (anyone remember Rap-O Clap-O? :) ), Harlem
River Drive and the aptly titled Grupo Folklorico Y Experimentales
Nuevayuercino.
Added bonus: a very informative booklet!
Adios,
Otto
