About Us

Mondo Negro is a dark, pure, and endless universe—born from passion, built on instinct. Based in Lisbon, Portugal, we connect globally with collectors and creators who share our vision.

What began in 2015 as a humble way to distribute leftover vinyl from a DIY label quickly grew into something bigger: a curated online record and book store designed for those who are drawn to the beautiful, the obscure, and the emotionally raw. From ambient soundscapes to the suffocating weight of black metal and sludge, from minimal synth to experimental drone, dark folk, psych rock, and beyond—we celebrate music and literature that moves us deeply, transcending genres.

Today, Mondo Negro stocks over 1,500 carefully selected vinyl records and books, with new arrivals added weekly. Our shelves (virtual, for now) are filled with releases from independent labels, visionary artists, and thinkers worldwide, often sourced directly from creators themselves. More than just a store, it's a place for dialogue, discovery, and deep listening.

Ultimately, our dream is to open a physical space where music lovers can gather, browse vinyl, explore books, and share stories—just like old times, yet feeling utterly new. We also aspire to become a record and book label, hosting concerts and releasing unique editions that reflect our passion.

Mondo Negro: where beauty thrives in the shadows, and music and print are forever united.
