Thrown Down Your Heart: The banjo’s African roots

Via jamati.com: Thrown Down Your Heart document banjo player Bela Fleck’s journey across Africa to discover the roots of the banjo.

It’s been probably been two years since I’ve even touched my banjo, so I’m not even going to fake like I can play it anymore. I will say that I laughed to myself every time I told someone that I played and they started up with the “Deliverance theme.” Most people probably have absolutely no idea that the banjo does not come from the South.
