- Go-go is a subgenre associated with funk that originated in the Washington, D.C. , area during the mid- 1960's to late-1970s. It remains primarily popular in the area as a uniquely regional music style. A great number of bands contributed to the early evolution of the genre, but The Young Senators, Black Heat, and notably singer-guitarist Chuck Brown and The Soul Searchers are credited with having developed most of the hallmarks of the style. Inspired by artists such as the groups formerly mentioned and Chuck Brown, Go-go is a blend of funk, rhythm and blues, and early hip-hop, with a focus on lo-fi percussion instruments and funk-style jamming in place of dance tracks, although some sampling is used. As such, it is primarily a dance hall music with an emphasis on live audience call and response. Go-go rhythms are also incorporated into street percussion. In technical terms, "Go-go's essential beat is characterized by a syncopated, dotted rhythm that consists of a series of quarter and eighth notes (quarter, eighth, quarter,, quarter, eighth, quarter)… which is underscored most dramatically by the bass drum and snare drum, and the hi-hat… [and and] is ornamented by the other percussion instruments, especially by the conga drums, timbales, and hand-held cowbells. " Unique to Go-Go is an instrumentation with 3 standard Congas and 2 "Junior Congas", 8" and 9" wide and about half as tall as the standard Congas, a size rare outside of Go-Go. They were introduced to Rare Essence by Tyrone Williams -aka- Jungle Boogie in the early days when they couldn't afford enough full sized Congas, and are ubiquitous ever since. A swing rhythm is often implied (if not explicitly stated). Another important attribute in go-go is call-and-response vocals with the crowd in concert. There is generally little familiarity with go-go music outside of the D.C. Metro area, which includes the District of Columbia and the city's outlying Maryland and Northern Virginia suburbs. Consequently, the relatively little commercial success (by industry standards) go-go bands have enjoyed has largely been a product of the genre's following in this geographic region. Nevertheless, the style continues to evolve. File:Gnome-mime-audio-openclipart. svg basic go-go beat File:Gogobeat. ogg The most important part of the go-go beat is the bass/snare pattern.

- Go Go är en amerikansk musikstil/subkultur som uppstod under det tidiga 1980-talet i Washington D.C. Grunden var ett karaktäriktiskt, triolsynkoperat trummönster ("The Go Go Beat") som genomsyrade de flesta låtar i genren. En annan faktor som bidrog till det typiska Go Go-soundet var förekomsten av Roto-Toms, congas och timbales. Både rap och sång förekom och kända band/artister inom genren är Troublefunk, E. U och Chuck Brown (The Godfather of Go Go). Go Go-scenen präglades starkt av helnattslånga maratonjam. Genren fick aldrig något brett, kommersiellt genomslag och förblev till stora delar en lokal företeelse. Flera av banden existerar dock fortfarande och turnerar även emellanåt.
