No worries, Gary. Go-go music is a sub genera of funk, it has loyal fan bass, a few big hits over the years, but it's very much a regional style, native to DC.
Being a drummer, I find this music fascinating blend of Funk, Afro-Latino with a slight swing feel. A drummer must have some serious skills to properly pull it off.
Check out this short demonstration by drummer Stan Moor.
