This is the episode of my radio show, The Mixtape, featuring the Go Go Music of Washington D.C. In February 2020, Mayor Muriel Bowser decleared Go Go Washington D.C.’s official music. Pioneered by Chuck Brown (and his Soul Searchers), Go Go has been a scene and a genre since the mid-1970s, when Brown hired percussionists to play during and between songs on Soul Searchers gigs. The syncopated grooves of Go Go were born. Many of the genres players–especially drummers and horn players–came from local high school marching bands. This episode includes recordings from the 70s to the present, including Brown, Trouble Funk, Northeast Groovers, E.U, Sylver Logan Sharp, and Go Go Symphony.
