Gogo Is The Conga Druminflected Black Popular Music That Emerged In Washington, D.C., During The 1970S. The Guitarist Chuck Brown, The 'Godfather Of Gogo,' Created The Music By Mixing Sounds Borrowed From Church And The Blues With The Funk And Flavor That He Picked Up Playing For A Local Latino Band. Born In The Inner City, Amid The Charred Ruins Of The 1968 Race Riots, Gogo Generated A Distinct Culture And An Economy Of Independent, Almost Exclusively Blackowned Businesses That Sold Tickets To Shows And Recordings Of Live Gogos. At The Peak Of Its Popularity, In The 1980S, Gogo Could Be Heard Around The Capital Every Night Of The Week, On College Campuses And In Crumbling Historic Theaters, Holeinthewall Nightclubs, Backyards, And City Parks.Gogo Live Is A Social History Of Black Washington Told Through Its Gogo Music And Culture. Encompassing Dance Moves, Nightclubs, And Fashion, As Well As The Voices Of Artists, Fans, Business Owners, And Politicians, Natalie Hopkinson'S Washingtonbased Narrative Reflects The Broader History Of Race In Urban America In The Second Half Of The Twentieth Century And The Early Twentyfirst. In The 1990S, The Middle Class That Had Left The City For The Suburbs In The Postwar Years Began To Return. Gentrification Drove Up Property Values And Pushed Gogo Into D.C.'S Suburbs. The Chocolate City Is In Decline, But Its Heart, D.C.'S Distinctive Gogo Musical Culture, Continues To Beat. On Any Given Night, There'S Live Gogo In The D.C. Metro Area.
