East L.A. Breeze is the fifth studio album of the indie group Brazzaville. For the first time this CD was released by a Soyuz Records sub-label Zakat in 2006. Until released by some Western record label, the album's been available only in CIS.

All songs are written by David Arthur Brown, except Star Called Sun featuring music by Victor Tsoy (Виктор Цой), the leader of the Russian rock group Kino (Кино).

The Russian song Звезда по имени Солнце, which gave the title to Star Called Sun, is more precisely translated into English as The Star Named Sun.

On October 9, 2006 East L.A. Breeze was released in Spain on South China Sea / Discmedi. For North America this album is promised to be published by Vendlus Records in late 2006.

[edit] Digipack

In July 2006, the album was reissued by Zakat/Soyuz in a digipack (limited edition?). This version has two songs more (Lena, Lazy Boy) and a "Star Called Sun" promotional video.

In Soyuz shops it is available at the same price as the regular album, but the quantity of digipacks is smaller (roughly speaking, one digipack by eight regular releases).
