Los Angeles is a city where everybody shines. Let’s visit a small area of town where you’ll find the most exclusive clothing stores and the pimpest ostrich shoes you could ever dream of! (We’ll forgive the erroneous reference to the 2006 NBA Champion Lakers. Shaq went to Miami, remember guys?)

Lamb meatballs! Lamb meatballs! Here at Yabla we love food as much as Anthony Rico, a chef with street cred, loves his lamb meatballs!

Everybody has a sea story to tell, especially those who grew up by the ocean. We’re in Maine, on the Atlantic Coast of the United States. Let’s enjoy the view, explore the caves, and even bother some starfish!

Let’s talk about lobster !

A nameless guitar discovered in a Florida pawn shop is asking important questions with surprisingly unimportant answers. A man ready to try to save a woman who only wants to see him falling. A Jim White interview is much like a one of his songs: you can read a story between the lines.

Jim White has mastered a genre of his own making, we like to call it “voodoo honky-tonk.” Note that when Jim says “ole”—that’s southern talk for “old.’ And when Jim sings “sho’ is cool”—that’s how some folks in the American south say “sure is cool.”

Jim’s known for writing about bible-thumping rural Florida, but it wasn’t until he headed north that his music started to reflect the place he grew up. His ticket out of town was a call from his sister, who had lined up a job for him as a fashion model!

Hip Hop is probably now the most pervasive popular music in the world, but it’s still at its freshest on the streets of New York, where it was born. These fresh young talents give us a take on Hip Hop’s new directions and ever changing possibilities for expression.

Oceanographer Jesse McNinch gets excited when the big storms roll in. He loves being near the ocean, so his job taking samples and gathering data along the coast is perfect for him. Further north, we pass the city of Norfolk and arrive on the eastern shore of Virginia.

The coastal town of Duck in North Carolina is home to a group of scientist who use remarkable custom-built vehicles to carry out their research on storms and erosion.

Emotions are strong and personal, and it's not always clear when to share them. In this romantic song, American rock band The Hooters calls for those intense, private emotions to be set free.

From scuba diving to big-game fishing, many activities here involve water. But it was also on this wild, windswept coastline of islands, shallow banks, and sand dunes that the Wright brothers made the first motorized flight in history.

Despite many years of experience, Nema Triplett is still as enthusiastic about diving as someone discovering the sport for the first time. This area is scattered with many shipwrecks, and a leisure diving industry thrives as a result. Today, a boat full of divers is visiting the wreck of the famous U-352 German submarine which was sunk here during the Second World War.

Canadian singer-songwriter Tate McRae works her magic on “I know love,” a track featuring the Australian rapper and singer The Kid Laroi. Fun fact: the pair are a couple in real life!

Chris Wilson’s dedication to art is unquestionable. A patriotic American artist, his love of the coast and the great outdoors inspires him, though the works are produced at a home studio where he can be unaffected by weather conditions or interruptions.
