Hosts Bobby Carter and Anamaria Sayre celebrate 50 years of a cultural phenomenon unique to Washington, D.C.: go-go music! This is funky music with a slow and simple groove, but hidden within are dense polyrhythms and interwoven harmonies. We listen to Tiny Desk performances from the Mount Rushmore of go-go: Chuck Brown, Trouble Funk, Rare Essence and E.U.
