| Arts
and Culture | | The Kennedy
Center for the Performing Arts hosts the National Symphony Orchestra, the Washington
Opera, the Washington Ballet, and other musical and stage performances. Notable
local music clubs include Madam's Organ Blues Bar in Adams Morgan, and the Black
Cat, the 9:30 Club, and the historic Bohemian Caverns jazz club, all in the U
Street NW area. | The only native
DC music genre is go-go, a post-funk, percussion-driven flavor of R&B that
blends live sets with relentless dance rhythms (that "go and go and go.")
The most accomplished practitioner of go-go was DC bandleader Chuck Brown, who
brought go-go to the brink of national recognition with his 1979 LP Bustin' Loose. |
| Washington was also an important center in the
genesis of punk rock in the United States. Punk bands of note from Washington
include Fugazi, Bad Brains, and Minor Threat. Native Washingtonians continue to
support punk bands, long after the punk movement's peak in popularity. The region
also has a storied indie rock history and was home to TeenBeat and Simple Machines,
among other indie record labels | | DC
has also historically been a center for bluegrass music. | | |
