It don't mean a thing..
If it don't got the go-go swing.
On Monday, a cutting ceremony took place in Washington, D.C. to unveil the city's first Go-Go Museum and Café.   The new cultural landmark is housed over 8,000 square feet in the historic Anacostia neighborhood.  In February 2020, Mayor Muriel Bowser signed DC law 23-71, selecting Go-Go music as the official music of Washington D.C.  The DMV (D.C, Maryland, Virginia) Metropolitan area has created the Go-Go identity and popularized it to the masses from the early 1970s through present.

A soft launch is occurring throughout the week with private tours.  On February 19, 2025, the Go-Go Museum & Café is set for opening to the general public.  If you aren't really familiar with the history of Go-Go and its sound, watch the brief documentary below.  For more info inside the Museum, watch the news clip to follow.
