Do Americans still listen to old school funk ?

Thanks for your answers my friends!

Another city to check out could be Washington D.C. That's where GoGo music is big. GoGo is a type of funk.

Other thoughts ?

Hi french paris,

Funk is popular where it originated, in the deep south.

New Orleans is the king of funk music, but you will find it in places like Atlanta and Charleston.

It might be popular in other areas but I wouldn't know.
