As a musical genre, go-go is hard to capture with words. But walking through D.C., its beats are instantly recognizable. Mikaela and All Things Considered Host Jonathan Wilson dig into go-go's history and legacy, and DCist Senior Editor Rachel Kurzius talks about recent efforts to suppress go-go and the resounding "nope" that is the Don't Mute D.C. movement.
Bonus: We head to the go-go to check out W.H.A.T. Band.
