We sat down with Yaddiya from Long Live Go Go for a powerful conversation about Go-Go music, Washington DC culture, and the deep roots of community, protest, and resistance that define the sound. Yaddiya breaks down how Go-Go has survived while continuing to be a unifying force in DC neighborhoods.
