• Shrink-wrapped

The banjo is a bigger than life instrument, a symbol of deep southern American heritage. At the same time, beneath its veneer of old-time icon, the story of the banjo is one of enormous creativity and adaptation to many musical traditions around the world--from Africa, to the Caribbean, to North America, to Europe, and beyond. In <i>Classic Banjo from Smithsonian Folkways</i>, banjo connoisseurs Greg Adams and Jeff Place cull 30 gems of banjo artistry from more than 300 albums in the Folkways collections, offering a gateway into the deep and varied veins of banjo history.
