The Best Record Shops - Wave Music in Budapest, Hungary

My name is Paulo Leite, and music is a fundamental part of my life. I started buying music records when I was a kid, and never stopped.
On this episode of The Best Record Shops, I am visiting Wave Music, in beautiful Budapest, Hungary. Although small, this is a record shop with many strengths. They have an extensive collection of Hungarian Jazz and Contemporary Music (on new CD), as well as a good number of Hungarian Rock on used vinyl. Hard Rock, Punk, Jazz - everything Hungarian and Eastern European. Exotic pressings of classic titles are also available. Some amazing surprises here! I am sure you will find something you must have. I had a great time shopping for music there. The manager is super friendly.

The shop is located right behind the Szent István Bazilika (St. Stephen's Basilica). Very easy to find.
Why am I making these videos? Because I hate to see record shops die. Streaming is NOT music. Streaming is just background noise. Buy CDs. Buy vinyl. Buy whatever physical format you like. Buy music. Buy movies. Buy books. Our culture is our biggest asset. It's not free. There is no feeling like sitting down in order to enjoy a music record by your favourite Artist, holding it on your hand, appreciating its artwork, reading liner notes, putting the record on the player, and pressing the Play button.

My wife and I stopped by Wave Music early October 2023 when we traveled there on vacation. Lots of fun and I talked to the owner and showed him pictures of my stereo system back in Los Angeles. We bought three jazz LPs in great condition and the owner kindly boxed it for us to protect the LPs for our trip home. Loved visiting Wave and the beautiful city of Budapest.

Love records stores. I can get lost for hours. We have a couple small record stores here in - Kicksville Vinyl & Vintage and Medium Rare Records.

[@BestRecordShops]

Awesome. I love them too. 🙂

Too bad I missed this store when I visited Budapest.

4 hours away by train, would love to visit both Wave Music and Lemezkuckó one day. I'm a Brit, living in The Czech Republic, have to go to Prague to find record shops, not too many here in Brno.

Both are totally worth it. I will be releasing more videos about other record shops in Budapest. Stay tuned.
