Go-go is signed into law as the official music of D.C.
Since around the 1970s, Go-Go’s versatile funk has been affiliate with the nation’s capital. On Wednesday February 19th, Mayor Muriel Bowser created history by signing a bill making Go-Go the official music of Washington, D.C.
Before signing the initial document, Mayor Bowser asked the crowd to repeat a chant with her “When I say go-go, you say…IS D.C.,” she shouted and enthusiastically the crowed chanted it three times.

“They helped amplify what it means to the world if you try to shut down go-go music,” the Councilmember said to the crowd. “Go-go will not be muted. The residents of the District of Columbia will not be silenced.”
“Thank you for showing up at the corner of 14th and U. at the corner of 7th and Florida Avenue,” McDuffie said. “Wherever there was the sound of go-go music y’all stood up and said we will not be silenced.”
