For your Spanish needs, try Ray's Jazz Shop:
"London's famed Ray's Jazz Shop, formerly of Shaftesbury Ave-Covent
Garden relocated to its current address, in the first floor of FOYLES
Bookshop 113-119 Charing Cross Road, approximately 4 years ago. Only a
few minutes walk from Tottenham Court Road & Leicester Square
underground stations, Ray's Jazz is unique in its position. Coupled
with the Cafe at Foyles, Ray's Jazz is the perfect place to find jazz,
blues and world musics in the Heart of London."

Haven't been to the re-located shop yet, but when it was at Shaftesbury
Avenue/Covent Garden, the ground floor was completely full up
with....well, jazz, as the name would imply. But the basement was
crammed full of blues, show tunes and every style of world music.
