bump...

Do you mean %26quot;ethnic-black%26quot;? Or any ethnic?
An ethnic north-african-black African area is around Strasbourg-St Denis- Gare du Nord- Barbès, but mostly for african food item, not really places to go out and listen to music.
Bastille area is nice to go out but not %26quot;ethnic%26quot;. In Chinatown it is mostly resturants, not really places to listen to music either i would say.

i mean any group of folks of color.... african would be good, jamaican, west indies..etc.. just wondering if any places actually exist... ??? oh any good zouk spots...

New Morning jazz club often has African bands and the crowd ethnically mixed. Barrio Latino is a salsa club near the Bastille that also has a pretty mixed crowd.

The major african ethnic neighborhood is the 18th arrondissement, around métro station Château d%26#39;Eau. But there are ethnic clubs and bars all over Paris, and also in the suburbs.
Here are a few spots, I am sorry, I know mostly the Bastille spots!
- La Chapelle des Lombards rue de Lappe (Bastille area) is a good spot for reggae, zouk and salsa:

- SATELLIT CAFE is also good for music from French Carrabean or Senegal:
44, rue de la Folie Méricourt 75011 Paris

And in the 18th :
- LE TITAN, avenue de Clichy

Not to forget Jokko bar in the Marais (5 rue Elzévir), owned by senegalese king of music Youssou N%26#39;Dour. Bar, exhibitions, concerts, I like this place! There is also a good senegalese restaurant in the same street : le Petit Dakar.
