Was this the track that started the go go movement? I honestly don’t know. IU came into it via Troublefunk, seeing them a couple of times in London at the height of their British fame in the late 80s. This track predates that period by 10 years and is as good as anything that followed it. Go Go was characterised, amongst other things, by long, drawn out jams and call and response, and this feels influenced stylistically by afrobeat. There are also elements of big band salsa within it, all of which adds up to an infectious groove.
