It is a Japanese instrument. Truth be told several banjo instruments existed in several places all over the world in different forms with different names before conquest. So, nobody can claim it. But everybody does.
I just got the back story that insprired these words written about Leonard Cohen and the woman, his mother, who told her, ...but be prepared to bleed. Hearing this backstory opened those old feelings, laid them bare and exposed to the cold light of today. Yes, there were tears.
It’s a West INDIAN INSTRUMENT , and not African American!! It’s not even an African thing!!! African American means the 1980’s when it was first Coined!!
The modern banjo derives from various instruments that have been recorded to be in use in North America AND the Caribbean, ergo... it was/is not exclusive to Caribbean or South Africa. It's a combination of several instruments from several individual, distinct nations.
Arabs brought Islam, slavery of infidels, and stringed musical instruments into continent of Africa. All Asians, even Mongols, had stringed instruments. Bob Marley gave credit to Mama Africa for his skills, but he said "One Love". Music is for humanity.
CSNY's Ohio updated. For the Students Protesting globally against the Genocidal Apartheid Colonialism in Gaza. The murders of 75,000 Palestinians, and Blitzkreig bombing of Rafah' refugee Camps. Tents, children, and their Mothers, burned alive while protesting UK students at 24 UK Uni's are beaten by Police thugs, and not reported on MSM, bludgeoned by the Military styled cops. Here in Germany and The USA Just like in Ohio in 1970 when The US National Ohio murdered 4 anti-Vietnam Student Protestors. Killed by American National Guard under President Nixon's instructions who referred to them as 'Bums" and "Bums is too good a word" Our Politicians in The UK & The USA are no better now. Meanwhile, enjoy the clip. This is a stunning performance.
