my favorite chuck song...p.s. Go-go today is a dichotomy much like reggae and dancehall, so is go-go and bounce beat. Bounce beat is spearheaded by young bands like TCB and CCB are geared toward the under 25 crowd while Chuck Brown is still at the helm of the more mature go-go sound. A common argument among fans is who cranks more? but it is understood that Chuck is the godfather and therefore in a separate category.
Go-go is characterized by its heavily syncopated, very danceable rhythm and emphasis on congas, cowbells, timbales, and other percussion. Its directly evolved from funk and blues and draws heavily from jazz and gospel. Its trademarked by live performance, improve, call-and-response, and what is referred to as playing in the pocket. The name go-go was originally as a term for party-going to the go-go Fans and bands were know to play and dance for hours on end.
It's the style -it's the sound-the shuffle and shake. Kurtis Blow (Transformers & It's Party Time) the group, E.U. (Doin' the Butt) and TROUBLE FUNK borrowed on the idea but Chuck Brown invented it.
Cutter hit it right on the nose...it's also an experience.. you have to be there to feel it. It feels like an African War Dance like the tribes do just before they go to war.
youre right brah....i'm from maryland, dc area bu live out in los angeles now...gogo didnt make it this way because they were not willing to travel this far..i dunno !! but i miss it, as it's only indigenous to that area currently.
