LOS ANGELES â On a quiet, hedge-lined block in Downey, the affluent, now majority-Latino suburb in southeast Los Angeles, Jimmy Humilde, CEO of Rancho Humilde Records, is putting the finishing touches on the latest addition to his lavish home: an indoor shark tank. Soon to house a leopard shark and a gray shark, the aquarium sits at the base of a white marble staircase, crowned by a painted fresco of cherubs and a single eagle flying between fluffy clouds. The eagle pays tribute to Humilde s late father. One thing that I promised myself is that, if I made it, I wasn t leaving the hood â now I m two minutes away, says Humilde, now 41. That s where I get the good tacos.
