Overview

  • Step into the polyrhythmic heart of Washington, D.C. Go-go is the District's native sound, built on relentless conga breaks, call-and-response lead talkers, and an unbroken beat called the pocket. From historic show stages along U Street to the pavement corner where #DontMuteDC shook City Hall, discover how Black Washington used percussion as neighborhood preservation. Walk the halls where civil rights icons ate chili, trace the cassette tape networks that bypassed commercial radio, and feel the raw, street-level energy of a city that refused to be silenced.
