Was in D.C last weekend and stopped into the lovely @songbyrddc cafe, where I got a great history lesson from a couple people there on Gogo music, D.C’s unique genre of funk. D.IY by design, enjoyed best live, and distributed on CDR’s, Gogo has had a revival in recent years as a musical statement against gentrification. Black folks, their shops, and their music are resisting being pushed out of D.C. For more reporting on this, check out The Atlantic or the New Yorker. Hopefully we’ll cover it on the Rebel Beat soon! #dontmutedc #gogomusic
