Rare Essence Live Pa 18: Live At Cafe Asia 11-28-15 CD

Rare Essence, Washington's premier Go- Go band for more than three decades has built a devoted fan base that spans multiple generations, drawn to the indigenous funk sired in the mid '70s by the late Godfather of Go-Go, Chuck Brown. Using a beat adapted from Grover Washington Jr.'s 1974 hit, Mr. Magic, Brown and his band the Soul Searchers played continuously, linking songs together over percussion breakdowns a raw, non-stop party groove fueled by congas, cowbells and timbales, with call and response interactions that obliterated divisions between a band that wouldn't stop playing and audience that couldn't stop dancing.
