Topanga est un canyon dans la région de Los Angeles, en Californie dans les montagnes de Santa Monica. Le nom lui a été donné par les Amérindiens qui occupaient la région, les Tongvas[2] et signifierait « le lieu au-dessus. »

Présentation

Dans les années 1960, le secteur attire beaucoup d'artistes, dont Neil Young, Woody Guthrie et d'autres. Charles Manson et sa « famille » fréquentent les lieux également avant les meurtres. En , le professeur de musique Gary Hinman est tué à son domicile de Topanga par Bobby Beausoleil, proche de la famille Manson.

Le canyon est resté une enclave pour les artistes et les musiciens de toutes sortes.

Une célèbre discothèque, le Topanga Corral, reçoit à cette époque de nombreuses stars de la musique, comme Canned Heat (dont le fondateur, Alan Wilson, succombera à une surdose de drogue en septembre 1970 alors qu'il campait seul dans le canyon), Derroll Adams, Emmylou Harris, Crazy Horse, Ramblin' Jack Elliott.

L'actrice Lisa Bonet s'y installe après son divorce de Lenny Kravitz en 1993. Sa fille, Zoë Kravitz, vit avec elle pendant cinq ans. Le compositeur Danny Elfman y vivait aussi au moment de la composition du générique des Simpsons (1989)[3].

L'artiste Chris Burden y installe un atelier, où il conçoit notamment l'installation Urban Light.
