The efforts to preserve Go-Go may end up gentrifying a form of music that was created to be anything but
slow down to bop as they pass Donald Campbell’s mobile-phone shop in Shaw, a neighbourhood in Washington,and soul that is indigenous to the city. In an area that was once dotted with Go-Go clubs, several of them owned by Mr Campbell, this is one of the last public places the music is played regularly. It is also the scene of a row that has forced a reckoning on how gentrification is eroding the culture of a once black-majority city.
Go-Go’s decline began the following decade when, in an effort to curb violence, the city forced clubs to close earlier and to stop serving alcohol. Around the same time blacks began moving out to the Maryland suburbs. Gentrification has accelerated that process. By 2015 the proportion of black Washingtonians had dropped below 50% for the first time since the 1950s.
