Originated in Glenarden, MD in 1988, The Raw Deal Band has spanned over 30 years of Go-go Music history. The band’s first release was under Ivan Goff Records and Bad Boy Records with a go-go cover of Craig Mack’s “Flava In Ya Ear” (1995). The band was started by natives of PG County and some University of Maryland Eastern Shore residents.
Now they are based in Fort Lauderdale, FL, and they continue to provide grown, sexy and Latin flavored jams with an authentic go-go pocket.
Their newest song is called, “See It Through” and we are very excited to share a new go-go song with our audience! The track has that classic funky feel bringing joy to the listener from beginning to end. When asking them about the song, they said, “”This is our debut singl. We are a Florida GoGo band. GoGo is the original sound of Washington DC. It is a mix of R&B, Hip Hop, Funk, Gospel infused with heavy percussion beats, help us make GoGo HUGE!”

Singer/guitarist/drummer Zaii Valdes is joined in the group by Dan Potvin and Justin Gianoutsos. The group’s latest EP, “FEVERBLUE,” drops October 20. In anticipation of the latest release, Valdes spoke with Alchemical Records about the new record and, in honor of his Cuban extraction, Hispanic Heritage Month—which kicks off September 15.
How did you first get involved in music?
Being of Cuban heritage, music and dance were very much a part of [my] cultural and familial experience. Not to mention, there was a spiritual aspect to it—trance states and such that could be achieved from rhythm and beat.
