Description
"The Beat is the first book to explore the musical, social, and cultural phenomenon of go-go. Rooted in funk and hip-hop, go-go - the only musical form indigenous to Washington, D.C. - features a highly syncopated, nonstop beat and vocals that are spoken as well as sung. This book chronicles the development and ongoing popularity of go-go, focusing on many of its key figures and institutions, including established acts like Chuck Brown (the Godfather of Go-Go), Experience Unlimited, Rare Essence, and Trouble Funk; well-known DJs, managers, and promoters; and filmmakers who have incorporated go-go into their work."--BOOK JACKET.
