D.C. is honoring the legacy of go-go music and culture through a week of panel discussions, performances, and a “Beat Ya Feet” fitness class.
Justin “Yaddiya” Johnson’s new pop-up bar at Baby Wale serves beats, bites, and a dose of D.C. culture.
This year’s holiday concert mix brings in unique offerings like Go-Go Santa and a hip-hop-infused “Nutcracker.”
Go-go music is finally getting a dedicated museum in D.C. Here’s what residents in wards 7 and 8 think about the long-awaited institution.
The museum, which go-go advocate and activist Ron Moten has been working on for years, will have exhibits, performance space, a cafe, and a community garden.
For the D.C. Fire and EMS band (known locally as Heat Stroke), playing funky go-go covers goes hand-in-hand with serving the public.
NEXTfest, a festival that celebrates jazz, go-go and other music that grew out of D.C.’s Black community, is back at Malcolm X Park this fall.
