I'm from virginia and grew up listening go go trouble, chuck brown, rare essence I seen at a local club and I have always been a go go head. My family lives all around the DC metro area and my entire family is in baltimore, I went to vsu from 86 to 88 and really got exposed to the essence of go go and the culture, it blew me away. I can honestly say go go is something everyone should experience

No doubt that "Saturday Night Live" is a classic and was rolling at plenty of parties back in the 1980s. This thing should be released on CD in the US. I believe there was a version overseas. Anyway you won't find too many (if any) live joints better than this. Big Tony and the boys were in a league of their own.

@@geesehoward357 Chuck Brown introduced the Go-Go style of percussion due to the influence from his time with the Los Latinos band. Keeping the pocket going in between songs led to an isolation of percussion which led to innovations by the players. In a nutshell, Latin rhythms influenced the sound and since those rhythms have roots in Africa, well there you go.
