Where did go go come from?

Go-go music originated in Washington, D.C., during the late 1960s and early 1970s. It emerged from funk and incorporates elements of rhythm and blues, featuring extended instrumental grooves and a strong emphasis on percussion. The genre is closely associated with bands like Chuck Brown and the Soul Searchers, who popularized its signature style. Go-go is also characterized by its call-and-response vocals and has deep cultural roots in the D.C. community.
