Bamboula’s Music is a long-standing independent record store and performance venue located in the Faubourg Marigny neighborhood of New Orleans. Established in 1968 by Ernie K-Doe and his wife Shirley, it initially functioned primarily as a record shop specializing in local music, particularly New Orleans R&B and soul. Following K-Doe's passing in 2001, the venue continued operation under new ownership, maintaining its focus on showcasing local musicians and providing a space for live music deeply connected to the city's musical heritage.
