Boulevards - Groove [COMPACT DISCS] date 04/01/2016

A subgenre of funk that originated in Washington, D.C., Go-Go is a mixture of funk, rhythm and blues, and early hip-hop utilizing horns and lo-fidelity percussion instruments to accent swing rhythms over a bed of electric guitar, bass and keyboards with an emphasis on live audience call and response. Although Go-go music cannot be traced back to any one person or group, many bands including Chuck Brown And the Soul Searchers, Trouble Funk and Rare Essence, among others, collectively created the sound that would come to be associated with the genre. Presented here is another great group of the movement, Redds And the Boys, whose 1985 single InchMovin' And Groovin'Inch is a prime example of the genre. Featured is the original single plus exclusive InchCrank DownInch mix. All selections newly re-mastered.
