I know nothing about go go music only what ive come across on youtube etc but tbh i dont get it , it just comes across as badly played congas to me and does nothing to help promote the instrument and how beautiful it can be . It also takes away from the countless hours of practice and study of technique we all put in . Each to there own of course
