Music in Los Angeles
In addition to being one of the most important cities in the world in the film industry, Los Angeles is also one of the most important cities in the music recording industry. Many places in Los Angeles - such as the Capitol Records - which looks like a collection of albums - show the importance of music in this city. A&M Records has long run a studio near Sunset Boulevard built by Charlie Chaplin (who wrote the soundtrack for his films). In addition to their film business, Warner Bros. also has a large music recording business in the city. David Crosby, Dexter Gordon, Eta James, Lisa Minley, Richie Valens, Brian Wilson, etc. are among the most important musicians in this city. The Greek Theater of Los Angeles, Whiskey a Go-Go, the Rocky Theater, the Wiltern, the Troubadour, etc. are just a few of the most important music halls in Los Angeles. Los Angeles Music Festivals include the Topanga Banjo and Fiddle Competition, the Cajun Music Festival and the Simi Vali Blues, the UCLA Reggae Jazz Festival, and more.
