Exiles has been on Honduras in Palermo since 2007, named after the Rolling Stones record. The storefront is narrow and gives nothing away between the cafés and design shops either side, and inside is the old kind of record shop: boxes on the walls, on the floor and on every flat surface, a desk under a ledge of antique speakers and an ancient Casio, a huge Hendrix canvas. Paco, who runs it, knows every record in the place and is known for taking people through the history of rock nacional as a sort of guided tour. Mostly used, running from US soul to Brazilian samba, seventies psychedelia, tango, hip-hop and modern indie
