This music is original to DC. It was created by Chuck Brown, RIP, the originator. It's called go-go. The basic premise is a hard-driving percussion pattern with 4 congas (requinto, quinto, conga, tumba), a cowbell, the drum kit places an emphasis on the kick bass and the high-hat. The rhythms are raw, guttural, and are better described as CRANK! Every 15th Ninja in DC is a conga player! They are EVERYWHERE! Being from Bmore up i295, I REALLY ENJOY THIS SOUND! Salute to:
Go Go Mickey, Smoke, Sauce, Pooh, Mighty Mo, Nicky Barnes, Love, Winko, Kay P, Bo Beedie, Sexy Rob, Rocket Rob, Jungle Boogie, Quick, Bisquit, and Ju Ju! BANGERS!
