1970, place, Shadd Elementary School 5500 block of East Capital Street, Southeast Washington, D.C. 

One spring afternoon during class, our teacher had to excuse himself from the classroom for about 10 to 15 minutes.  While he was gone, we (the kids in the classroom) proceeded to talk, play etc.  All of a sudden, from out of nowhere, someone started beating on the desk. Boom Tap, BoomBoom Tap other kids joined by beating on their desk.  Now you heard Boom Tap, BoomBoom Tap along with TapTapTapTapTapTap. Then someone grabbed a cowbell and added the sound DoDoop. 

Words cannot express the feeling that came over our classroom during our 10 minute session.  I can only describe it as the spirit of the drum. 

Go Go did not start with one particular band.  Go Go is a DC music.  Its origin began around the end of the 60's after the Motown Revolution, the Assassination of Malcolm X, the passing of the Civil Rights Act, and the Assassination of Martin L. King Jr. 

Go Go became "The Music that United a City."
