Miyagi Records aims to highlight Chicago’s rich musical history across a variety of genres, such as blues, soul, house, jazz and hip-hop.
Incubated under the Rebuild Foundation’s Creative Entrepreneurship Program, Miyagi Records will open in April in the Washington Park neighborhood’s Arts Block, a group of cultural and commercial spaces along Garfield Boulevard.Miyagi Records was started by Nigel Ridgeway and Marco Jacobo, two musicians and collectors who were inspired by the hyper-curated vinyl shops in Tokyo.
“Owning a record store is not just about selling music, it’s about curating a cultural experience and building a community around the art of listening,” Jacobo said in an announcement.The store will also partner with the Rebuild Foundation’s creative coffeehouse and incubator for emerging culinary artists, Retreat at Currency Exchange Café. The space will help host music programming, performances and community listening events.
“The preservation, curation, and recirculation of Black music that Miyagi Records brings to the Arts Block demonstrates the depth of creative entrepreneurial talent that lives in our communities,” said Theaster Gates, founder and executive director of the Rebuild Foundation. Miyagi Records founders Marco Jacobo and Nigel Ridgeway were inspired by hyper-curated vinyl shops in Tokyo.
